I need to change my clutch asap and need a rough time estimate for changing it or a cost , so i can guage how much i should be paying.

I saw your other post about your clutch from the states and was about to ask you the same thing.

I am interested in the cost too.

Hi Warren,

 

I reckon around 7 hours - but a garage should be a lot quicker - maybe half the time.

 

This is approximately how long it took to get mine off, and the steps involved:

 

1. remove exhaust - 1 hour

2. remove heat shield and prop shaft - 30 mins

3. remove tranny (including starter, clutch slave cylinder - 2 hours

4. remove clutch - 5 mins (nine bolts)

5. remove flywheel 5 mins (you'll want this skimmed ready for your new clutch)

 

But, I've yet to do the reverse. The biggest problems I encountered, was seized bolts on the exhaust downpipes, and removing the top two bolts from the tranny - nightmare!

 

Hope this helps

Warren,

my local Nissan dealer (Reynolds, Southport) charged me 4 hours labour (£160) to fit my ACT clutch. It took them the best part of a day to do it, but they still only charged me the 4 hours.
