yes, plus $500 for parts
maybe a hundred for machine shop
and the unexpected... better have about $1200 on hand to bring it in.

You can have the pad relined for around $160. :roll: First time it was rebuilt Dennis did it Just to be safe. Than I wore the pad out, learning how to off road. :shock: Needless to say you shouldn't ride the clutch. :lol:

I used a clutch set for a BMW and I got it at Auto Zone when I did my K years ago. Obviously the TO bering was wrong,but the disc and p-plate were identical to the original and were the same manufacturers name(forget the name). Around $250 at the time and included a lifetime warrantee...(Eric?) :lol:

Warrantee on stupidity? Isn't there something morally wrong with doing a warranty claim when you new you screwed it up? Oh never mind Daves girl friend is running things now! ethics have left the building. :D

And no nether shop mentioned warrantee. Maybe they new better! :?

Buy the bits and do it yourself. Its a very easy job and no special tools involved (though a clutch alignment tool makes life easier). You'll have it done in a couple of hours...

Clutch change was the first significant job I'd done on my Pinz and I was really impressed how easy it was. 8)

Does anyone have a clutch alignment tool part number (or substitute)? Or can I get away with using a dowel rod like I did in the Volkswagen days?

I rummaged through my mechanic friend's collection of alignment tools and
found one that worked for me. It is marked "GM 10". Just Google it - there
are lots of places to get it.
