hello , my cars clutch has started sliping real bad , and i was wondering if any 1 could recomend where and what type of clutch 2 buy ,it is a 1.8 (pb) gti , im looking 2 get a good clutch and have some dosh saved :tongue:
-
just a normal vw one they seem to last pretty well and unless you got some outrageous power mods will be fine
-
ok thx ,dont suppose u know how much a clutch should cost 2 fit (on average)?
-
dunno prob about 200 - 300 quid its gearbox out job but isnt mega bad just long job
-
Sachs Sports + labor = £210.
:cool: :cool:
*i know someone. ---  :evil:
-
uff man thats a lot of dosh , i only payed 100 quid 4r car
-
thing is if you don't know anyone that can do it, it will always be a lot of money, as it involves a lot of time and effort to drop the gear box out and get the clutch off.
It is possible to do it in your driveway, on a jack but believe me you won't be able to move for a few days after due to the demands of rolling around trying to move a gearbox around.
:sad: :sad:

yeah i did a gearbox outside my mates house, tw4t rounded off one of the driveshaft bolts so we had to take it out with it still attatched!! we were swearing like hell and he made himself scarce!! HE made the tea that day!
-
Local clutch specialists should be around £200 i got mine done for £160 for a genuine clutch and the fitting!!! Shop around as there is always someone else willing to do the work for less!!
-
if you got a mate who's handy with a spanner get the car up on stands and get stuck in, me & my cousin had a go and we swore so much, the gear box is right b1tch to get off just takes some patients and getting tha angle right.
clutch 80 quid from gsf labour free, not able too get of sofa for two days priceless :grin:
-
yea lads thx for ure ideas , the thing was i just reduit the cylinder head and most of the rest of the car, interior the lot, as it was a crash damaged 100 pound motor, but i just cant bring my self 2 go and fit a clutch ,so looks like just stumping up the dosh is the answer, :smiley:

also managed 2 drop the engine out my 1.6 driver in 2 hours on a hill onto jacks , thx 2 my bros uber mechanicness, just the other day so i aint really in mood for more car repairs :evil:
