Just got a quote: 710$ including parts 200, labor 500 sth. I think I paid to much for the car $3,000 if the clutch need to be changed soon. What will happen if the clutch goes really bad? Thanks |

How much
 The labour you've been quoted is about the same as I'll be paying - but on the GT4 the entire engine and gearbox has to be pulled out! $500 for a clutch swap on a FWD car is a rip off - pure and simple  Gary --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

About 900 for labor since the gearbox has to be pulled out. And what's worse, he said our model clutches only last 5-7 years. The ghetto repair shop wanted 1000. It's sad because otherwise the car is very well built. Yeah if you let the clutch all the way out and have no power at the wheels, the clutch is almost done. --------------------  |
