Any thoughts on this estimate to repair my vehicle?
 

I have a slipping clutch, basically the car needs to accelerate A lot before it moves an inch.

Here is what I am been charged for the repair

1.) 9 Hours labor at 120 dollars hr - 1080
2.) Flywheel - 1084
3.) Clutch - 839
4.) Pilot Bushing - 6
5.) Master Cylinder - 169
6.) Slave Cylinder - 163
7.) Cable Line for M & S Cylinder - 47
8.) Brake Fluid - 60

Total - 3448

EDIT: All parts are OEM

Lol, Thoughts?

That's obscene if it's stock parts. And there's no reason to put stock parts back in. You can do better, cheaper and more reliable with aftermarket. If you put an OEM CSC back in you're crazy.

Find another mechanic

shouldve bought an AT :shakes head:

AT would cost more in a long run :rofl2:

Doesn't seem to be that way unless you're boosted

I hope that is a future estimate and not a bill for work that has been done. Good upgraded after market parts ftw.

Why new master and slave cylinders as well as the line for a clutch job?

dealer pwned him?

My prices at a specialist brake and clutch outfit .... prices are in Australian Dollars (each A-dollar is about 80 US cents)

1. 1350kg clamping force cover 5-puck sprung centre clutch plate, includes lightweight flywheel, pilot bush and new slave cylinder - A$1400 including all state and federal taxes plus freight
2. Fitting - remove gearbox, remove dual mass PoS flywheel and old pilot bush, fit new flywheel, pilot bush and clutch, refit box, bleed clutch and road-test - 6.5 hours and A$560 including 1-litre of Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid. I supplied the new flywheel fasteners because I had them in stock

Total was less than A$2K (about USD 1600 or so)

You are being taken advantage of .......

That said, I have had extensive dealings with my shop over 18 years and the reason I go back is because they do great work at a good price.

Maybe this is a benefit from being in the Southern Hemisphere ??

Seems about right if it was a Porsche or a BMW...

THey say is because the Clutch and Flywheel they would be installing is a high performance part that has been added to new Z's and GTR and so the Slave and Master Cylinder would have to be compatible.

This worked out to over 10% of your car's cost in America,i have heard America,buy car cheap,repair car expensive...

Nope. Find a new shop.

:inoutroflpuke: RUN

I agree. I bought a stage 3 clutch and aluminum flywheel (for another car) for 1200 roughly including shipping and labour for that was just under 800.
Get like 3 different quotes and also ask them if they will install the clutch if you purchase from somewhere else. When you buy parts from the place of work,they usually mark it up higher than if you get it on your own.
