Quote for new clutch for 92 - Am I being shafted??

**tiredsteve** · 30-06-2010 12:03 PM

Hi All,

Now I'm not the most up to date with what parts should cost - basically, my clutch is slipping on my 92 lude, and it needs a new one.

The mechanic came back and said that to replace it, there are 2 types of clutches available. One is 350ish (so about 600 with labour), the other is 850 ish ($1k+ with labour), and the VIN will dictate which one I need.

So my question - am I being shafted?? From what I have read here, clutches are 350 ish, or 4-500 for an Exedy heavy duty. What is this 850 clutch he would be talking about??

Cheers!!!

Ok - got the phone call back from the mechanic - quoted 800ish for new clutch, labour, fluids etc, and rehoning of the flywheel.

Is this in the ballpark?

Cheers!
