When to call it quits on a vehicle..

[CHA-LEE]

I am trying to understand how $1300 wouldn’t cover EVERYTHING associated with the clutch (Clutch, Pressure Plate, flywheel, slave cylinder, fluids, etc) in a manual transmission rebuild including labor. If the clutch is toast why on earth would you only replace one or two of those things when you have it all apart? Dropping the tranny and replace all of that stuff yourself isn’t rocket science either. If it was me I would have just replaced it all myself during an afternoon in my driveway.

I did less than 2 minutes of Google searching and found complete Clutch/Flywheel/Hydraulics kits for $350-$400. Another two minutes of searching found many text and video instructions on how to do the swap.

Looks like less than $500 in parts and some elbow grease and you are back in business.
