Clutch

[randamonia]

Hi All

My clutch gave up the ghost over the weekend on our way home after 10 days away and about 600miles. Driving down from Wales to Hampshire for Carfest I knew it was going but we decided to just risk getting there and worry about getting home later if needed...which we did via a 70mile tow behind a very nice man in a yellow van.

Anyway, unfortunately I won't be able to change it myself as I can't get it to my old mans to use his drive way so i'm going to have to get a garage to sort it. I just wanted to see if anyone had rough costs from previous experience and critically are there any other jobs I should have done while I have the clutch out e.g. rear engine oil seal.?

Cheers

Russ

Starter motor bush, re-grease CV joints, check front crank and gearbox input shaft seals, Gearbox nose mount bush ... probably quite a few more that slips my mind.

Just had mine done. parts - clutch kit, new crankshaft oil seal and spigot bearing - came to £120. About five hours labour on mine - the old crankshaft seal had worn and the flywheel needed quite a bit of work

Thanks folks!

I'd be realistic though given what garages charge by the hour, plus the price of parts, which to be honest won't be far off the £100 mark. I know of one case where a T2 owner was charged a whopping £400 to do the job and that was in 1995. I did his mates the same day for about £120 so I'd be surprised if you'll find a garage in this day and age that does it for less than £250. Get quotes.
