just got a quote on getting a new clutch put in my te.....

$1100.... and thats at mates rate... :cry: :tantrum:

my mechanic told me to look on the bright side, he did a clutch for a vx clubby last week and the clutch kit itself was $1500... before labour and everything else...

is that for a heavy duty though? or the stock boring one? lol

STOCK BORING ONE :shock: (not from mitsu though)

Sounds a tiny bit high but the pull type clutch kit for magnas is very expensive. Check to see how much a heavier duty one is before going through with it. I had a Daikin one put in my old TE for circa $1000.

clutch itself is $540, labour is almost 500 @ around 7 hours labour

last clutch i did in a v6 magna took me 3 to 4 hrs
and clutch i could prob get for less too must be some m8?

yeah i just had mine done about 4 weeks ago, and it cost me $950 - the daikin kit was 550, and labour was 400. I shopped around and this was the cheapest quote i got from someone who knew what they were doing.

Also: beware of getting just anyone to replace it, the pull-types are more difficult and time consuming to replace, and so you would want someone who has done one before to do it, otherwise you could be back - again, and again, and again. :D

good luck anyway.

also the flywheel will need machining cost aprox 50 bux possably good time to replace the rear main seal depending on km

Thats what im worried about if i just take it anywhere.... i will look into heavier duty clutches next week sometime and see how they price up. that price is just an estimated maximum, labour could be cheaper depending on how long it takes. :doubt:

yeah, that quotes was to replace the rear main seal aswell as get the flywheel machined. and about cheaper pricing... dont you work for mitsu? :P lol

mine cost me $850 for a daikan couple of years ago.
stock one was goin to cost me $1100

yea i work for mitsu

but i get trade at repco and it takes me 3 to 4 to do the job

i could mabi do it on a weekend at home not that hard of job easier on a 2 post hoist thoe

might take 7 hrs on the ground

you sure its the factory clutch? have u had the car since new?

100% sure its factory clutch brought it at 80 000k's and the guy said he hasnt changed the clutch yet and he had it from new and said its something to be aware of.

so i dont know why he would tell me that he hasnt replaced the clutch yet when i was thinknig of buying his car if it was not true .

the clutch is startong to slip in higher revs though now

ive got 210,000k's and it had the original clutch when i got my car too. mine is only starting to slip at higher revs. however, im thinking more of selling it now as i dont really need it anymore, its only been a novelty for the last 2 years now anyway... :)
ive heard that clutchs can last from 50k's to 250k's depending on whose driving

thanks for the offer anyway magnus - much appreciated. its amazing how good you guys on amc are

Ive done 120k on my original clutch. Mind you I didnt have the car from knew.
Its starting to slip with heavy load though.
I did a hill start the other day with the car full of mates and the boot full of camping stuff and the thing just reved out.
Do not get a mitsu clutch though. Definatly go a heavy duty one.
