New Clutch Advice - Saxperience

Anyone here know if there is a tried an tested uprated clutch around for the VTR? (2002 Silver Top)

Thrust bearing is being a nosy son of a Bi**h! so looking to get it replaced and new clutch while im at it .

Not looking for full on group n rally stuff, somet simple but tad uprated. spotted the black diamond gear which isnt too exspensive so tempted

if funds stretch may get a B&M short shift while im at it

My release bearing squeeks like a mofo, how od I sort it out without paying for a new clutch?

dont waste your money on a blackdiamond or any make like that there just reconditioned ones and wont last

get an LUK or VALEO

Valeo/LUK is fine. If the release bearing queeks you can just replace that, though its still a ballache so may as well do the whole lot

How much is a clutch release bearing to fix?

How many hours labour?

How much for the relase bearing?

Yeah basically im going down the route of "while its out" replacement

lot of labour to get just the bearing changed so might as well uprate it a tad

so reckon just stick to standard valeo one?

hesslevtr · 11th April 2007, 12:52

about 20 for the release bearing the box needs to come out will probley cost you an extra £50 to replace clutch so might aswell get the clutch done

fair few hours labour cause they gotta pull the clutch out, and then refit

god knows how much the bearing costs mind

Soryr to be a pain but can you break it down?

So one release bearing and fitting = £70? ( £20 parts and £50 labour?)

How much is a clutch and how much is labour on that?

hesslevtr · 11th April 2007, 12:53

valeo or LUK will be fine both top clutch kits

hesslevtr · 11th April 2007, 12:54

box out will be around 100+

bearing around 20ish

cluthch kit what includes bearing around 70 odd

hesslevtr · 11th April 2007, 12:57

squeaky bearing will stay squeaky, tbh mines gotten worse where it squeaks non stop now

fitting be same as removal price probably.

hesslevtr · 11th April 2007, 13:00

if the bearing is squeeking and ratteling id get it replaced asap as if not you run the risk of the bearing splitting and sending ball bearings everywere in the gearbox and could damage the gearbox which will cost more money to repair

Ryan^p · 11th April 2007, 13:01

standard valeo clutches are more than up to the job.
