Clutch install quote

[02gt]

I got a quote today from CPR and they quoted me 300 for my clutch to be installed. You guys think that is too much?

Just make it a WickedStangs install day and buy the beer. We need a good write up with pics for Emilio's online magazine.


Just a thought.....You might want to keep the beer til the install is done though.

Oh and Pizza

yeah i think that would be even better but i need to get my fly wheel resurfaced.

 

[Gibs]

that we can get done at the hobby shop I believe.

[wickedstangs]

there are lots of places to get the flywheel done cost like 40-50 dollars.. And about the Magazine I have began to get it back up and running in perfect condition waiting for access code from our hosting company..

[beejay31000]

i want to help too. i like beer and pizza!

 

[02gt]

I'll buy like a few cases of beer and some pizza's if we can get some people together, i gotta do some shoping around for a cable and a quadrant too before we do this.

 

[beejay31000]

just let us know

 

[02gt]

alright I'll do that.

 

[Foxman]

no need to shop around... Steeda is the only way to go.. and centerforce clutch

 

[02gt]

i went with a RAm clutch already but i think im going to get the steeda quad though

 

[beejay31000]

i think centerforce clutches are too stiff on the pedal. i have one and its a hell of a work out to drive

 

[02gt]

yeah i was almost going to buy a centerforce but i figured the RAm was the best bang for the buck.

 

[Foxman]

the ram is weak... the centerforce is the best.... its stiff for a reason

 

[mulethras]

if you want i can help out too good learning experience for me

 

[wikedcobra312]

i believe phil has expertise in installing clutches, he did his last year.

 

[mulethras]

i never have

Clutch changes are easy! If you can turn a wrench you can change a clutch. If I had never done one though I would invest in a good Chiltons or Haynes manual (if you dont already have one) and read through it before you start the job. Make sure you have everything you need. Another suggestion is that you do it at your auto hobby shop down there, as using a lift for the car and a jack to raise and lower the tranny will make it 100 times easier and save alot of time.

sounds good
