Stock Clutch, how much £?

Anyone know how much a stock clutch replacement would cost for a J-spec 6 speed?

I think the clutch itself is usually around the £400 mark, and labour is around £150-200. But people seem to say it's worth changing the flywheel too.

You can get a full kit for about £210 - £250 ish i think from Blue Print (No flywheel included in that price )

And the plates are usually Exedy so they are not too bad as a 'stock replacment' item.

Ah right. I was going off some of the prices I'd seen from some of the traders here.

Personally I have just had a Chris Wilson modified stock clutch fitted, new flywheel, and new bearings but this is a bit more expensive.

I got one off a US company on ebay for not that much and it worked a dream I will try to find out who it was

Thanks

Heres a link to a cluch for an SZ

Thanks for that, did you fit it yourself? if not then what did you get charged for it?

cheers.

Cost me £80 at a local garage.

80quid to fit a clutch

yep they put my RS*R on at the same time. However they are real good friends of my Dad's so not too sure if I got a mate rate

Thats unlucky danny, is it slipping badly?

When i get to about 2500rpm in 5th or 6th gear with the go pedal pressed all the way down, the revs seem to jump up above 3200rpm like clutch slip, but they then drop a bit then rise again as normal right to the red line.

I don't know if it is the clutch or not, i can't smell it burning and it only does it at low revs, if it was the clutch i would have thought it would slip higher up at the peak power revs?

But what else could it be?

sounds like the clutch my SZ would slip when ever I put my foot down hard as long as I was smooth it was ok

Ive had clutches go before on other cars and they always slipped higher up the rev range, mines only doing it low down.

The other thing is that the bite point on the clutch is quite high up too.

Any ideas?

Danny, sounds like its doing exactly what mine was doing. I changed the clutch and flywheel and everything is fine now.

I was thinking exactly the same when mine went wrong (with regards to when it slips), but it did turn out to be clutch.

I ordered a RPS clutch and flywheel from MVP and got them at a good price and in very quick time.

They do recommend that you change the flywheel when doing the clutch, if you do this and think about the RPS flywheel, be warned that it does make your car sound clunky (due to the lightness of it). It drives great but does make a bit of an agricultural sound when pulling off.

I'll just stick with stock i think, i have no plans for more power and i can't justify the extra cost, i'll have a ring round on Monday and see if i can find somewhere that will do it.

hi , how long have u had that kit ?

I had it on the car for over a year (dont own the car anymore) it was exacly like the oem one though and had no problems with it at all

thanks for the reply Daston, only need these to last 1 year so these are quite suit my needs -- only $80 for the NA clutch but $116 for p&p lol still cheap tho

Just took the car for a run and the clutch is slipping worse now. I feel like crying, only had the car a week, i drive like a granny most of the time and the first time i open it up the clutch slips.

I know how you feel mate. I'd only had mine for 2 weeks before mine started slipping.
