new clutch..how much

[stompin-sarah]

how much to get a new clutch and fitting roughly?

[Bean]

i payed 140 fitted with two year guarantee, this was at burton clutch centre near derby, think there between 40 and 60 pounds to buy if you or someone you know can fit it, scott

[Lozza_vtr]

Mr clutch is around £200 supplied and fitted, just for reference.

[davidandrews5343]

mine was £50 from kamraceing, then £100 to fit and it was done in 2 hours

[steve_335]

depends where you go mate, obviously main dealers are more expensive but you do get the genuine parts and warranty with them, but up to you mate. Have seen them done for 150 in other places

[stompin-sarah]

thanks all :)

[sexy_gt]

provide your own clutch and i charge £100 fitting.

cheers

I wouldn't recommend Mr Clutch, tbh. Used them years ago, the clutch was supposed to be a quality replacement but was a shocking job.

Got mine done about a year ago by my local small garage, was about £130 all in.

[manta3000]

mr clutch only if selling

[stompin-sarah]

mr clutch quoted me 184.99 for everything so i rnag my garage told them thaT quote and they said it all depends on how much they gate the clutch kit for so i said i had found one for 40.00 and he said thats good buy that and we can do the fitting for 120.00 :)


my garage had quoted me 250ish b4 i got the quote off mr clutch :)

clutch centres generally fit the cheapest,shoddiest remanufactured crap they can get away with. i fitted a cheapy clutch that a customer supplied once, got it off ebay, and it was rubbish!! now only fit quality clutches, i hate doing jobs twice,especially if the 2nd time has to be for nothing due to a customer complaint

[stompin-sarah]

ooh bloody hell well the one ive just bought is this http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Citroen_Saxo_1.4_1999/p/Car-Parts/Transmission/Clutch-and-Associated-Parts/Clutch-kits/?641735211&1&5d6988ff71a5310fce0ec2f512bce488d7e3d773

please tell me this one is ok?

[bfc2dabone]

i think euro car parts are ok, so should be ok, did you put your reg in?

[stompin-sarah]

yeah i put reg in and they also asked me for the reg when i went to the shop to buy it :)

[bfc2dabone]

you should be ok then, mines a cross over mk 2 vtr (2000) and they got the drive shafts rite for that, they seem to be pretty good, you just got to get it fitted now

[stompin-sarah]

yeah ive not long been home from towing it to the garage :(

left it on their forecourt and they will see to it in the morning :)

[bfc2dabone]

you should be back on the road again soon then, hate it when things like this happen, always seems to be the weekend for me when im meant to be picking my boy up. you still paying 120 to have it fitted?

funnily enough mine always does it at the weekends too lol! and also mine seems to know when im coming into a bit of extra cash so it decides to break down so the extra cash ends up being spent on it the sneaky shit!!

yeah still payin 120 for fitting :)

oh god please dont tell me that :( :wall:

[TU-Tuning]

Unfortunately Transmech are known to be shite. LUK/Valeo only tbh

[stompin-sarah]

oh bollocks lol my cars at the garage now as well clutch in boot ready to be fitted tomoro lol

[Mochachino]

tbqh id tell them to order a valeo tomorrow. They will order in the mornin and recive it same day, so dont worry. Send the Transmech back and tell them you prdered wrong one or somthing. Pay little pay twice with the transmech.

[stompin-sarah]

right well the thing is the garage tried to charge me 250.00 with parts and labour etc etc so i found the clutch kit and bought it then asked the garage how much just to fit it and they said 120.00 so thats a saving of 90 quid...

i wonder if the car parts place will swap it with me giving them the extra cas for a valeo one as they do sell them ive just looked on the website? (euro carparts)

[Mochachino]

hmmm 250 is very steep. Id really try n get a valeo though. From reading a few things about the transmechs it sounds like youll be paying labour twice to have it replaced within a few days!
