I have a 1996 Galant S, 300 some miles after replacing my master clutch cylinder, my clutch started slipping. It's pretty bad now, I can throw the car in 1st or even 4th gear, let the clutch out and the car won't stall. I can drive my car like an automatic at stop lights. So it looks like I'm going to have to get a whole new clutch kit.
I called the local Napa and this is what they quoted me:
New Clutch Kit - $175
Machine Flywheel - $30 - 75
Labor - $550
Total + Tax - 807.03
:wtf:
Is this a reasonable quote?
I don't know how to do this fix myself and I'm not sure it's something I really want to try without someone there to show me what I need to do. I know a few people who may be able to help, two people who will do it cheaper than the shop and one who will help me (this doesn't include resurfacing the flywheel though). Is this fix simple enough that you'd pay someone rather than a shop to do it?
So since my clutch is shot and I'm going to have to fix it, I was thinking on upgrading it while I'm at it, so if I can save money on labor I can afford to get something better put in. Anyone have any suggestion for a good clutch kit for a 7g? Maybe a 2g clutch kit that will fit?
