So I shifted into 1st as I was getting off the freeway and I felt a pop and smelt a burning. I could'nt shift after that. Car turns on just fine but doesnt shift...I was told chances are my clutch is gone. Anyone know a ballpark of how much this is gonna cost? 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse in Cali...
Depends if they gotta take out the engine to drop the transmission or not. My guess is yes, and thats about right for all new cars. Hours alone is whats going to kill you, not the part cost.
i mean what do you think price wise its gonna cost? I was told anywhere from 400-700
Youre looking more in the 500-850 range.
Ha, im sayin over 1000, about 1100 for a FWD car.
i only paid 250 for my nissan altima clutch...and 250 for labor...somewhere like that...juss shop around...
you shifted into 1st as you were getting off the freeway????!!!!!! :no: thats abou the easiest way to ruin your clutch. NEVER want to shift into anything past 2nd unless youre starting off. Easiest ways to wear out your clutch are to 1. ride the clutch
2. shift into 1st from any speed other than a dead start
3. start your car from 2nd gear repeatedly instead of 1st.
mine was 150 at autozone, 96 cavy, fwd, cause well knew the guy, and my dad and me put it in ourselves, as well as replaced my whole engine cause i blew it too, but i had a free one that came with my car :) suckah~
When you say ride the clutch you mean hold the clutch down while decreasing speed? I just learned how to drive a clutch 2 years ago and don't know the rules...hehe
That blows man.. My buddies 2001 civic just blew too lol.. cept his clutch plate got grinded up and went into his tranny and then blew a hole in the side lol...His clutch cost him around 350 CA then 300 for the work
