Default Clutch slipping

Tonight the clutch has started slipping as soon as the turbo kicks in.What sort of price am i looking at to get done.Is it worth going somewere like Mr clutch or buying the part and getting somewere to fit it or have a big bonfire with car.

It depends how much time you have, You can do it yourself quite easily if you have the time and dont mind getting dirty. Mr clutch would not have any big problems in doing it for you. Its a very simple job compared to other cars on the road. Ring around a few branches for a quote. The s12 may not be listed but the s13 will be and the job is the same.

Get an exedy s13 ca18det clutch kit. There around £130,sometimes cheaper.

I would say anything under 300 quid parts and labour and vat would be a good price

If you bought the part yourself you could try and find a local frindly garage to fit it for you. that may work out cheaper.

It will take longer than an hour to do the clutch. Try about 4.

i was basing a figure of 2 1/2 hours in my guesstimate garage quote. Thats for if you have garage equipment and hopefully ramps.


Im surprised you did it all in an hour. although your clutch did slip from the moment you fitted it didnt it but i suppose that may be a fault with the parts so il give you the benefit of the doubt lol
