How much would it be for labor to put in a clutch?

Question

I am trying to get a guess about how much it would probubly be to have a clutch put in. Just the clutch no flywheel or nothing else. Just the extra parts that come with the clutch kit. It is a manual 1998 gsr transmission. Thanks to whoever answers.

Answer 1

Depends if you have a backyard mechanic or friend do it, or local corner garage, or a big time car dealer. Obviously, the big time car dealer will charge you enough to pay for a new car.

I'm guessing that it might cost you $200, maybe less. But I would suggest that if you're changing the clutch, then consider doing the whole thing, such as throwout bearing, etc. (NOT the flywheel; that's pretty massive!!) I screwed myself years ago by not doing that, and then had to fix the throwout bearing.....months after I had changed the clutch plate out. But I assume that when you say "extra parts from clutch kit," that might cover those things.

Easiest would be to go to yellow pages, check your local area, and just call and ask for prices. Average hour prices for mechanics are $60-80, depending upon where you live. When you drive around your home area, don't you see garages in your area? Just stop and ask for prices. Sometimes neighborhood garages are better, because they don't have to make the profits that the national chains do.
Easiest way to see if it's a good mechanic, if there's always lots of cars going thru the place, then it must do a good job.
