what's the average charge for labor to change a clutch on an FD?

 

it takes me about 3.5 HRS. i dont know what shops charge. i know how long it takes me... i think my first time it took me about 5-6 hrs.

 

Only 3.5 hours?! I thought it would be more than that.

 

Mazda says (in the books) that it takes 6 hours. My mechanic took slightly less, and he replaced the clutch line too. Figure roughly 5-6 hours x your local labor rate.

I ordered my parts from mazdatrix (lightened flywheel & OEm clutch) and had a local SF Shop(AllSpeed Motors) install it for $360.00

 

i have had that thing out more times than i can count. when you know exactly what to do, it can knock some time off the job. and i have always used a lift. i dont think i could do it on the ground. props to those who have though.

 

I hear you rxrotary2_7. I've pulled more trans & motor off than i've change my underwear.

 

thats quite disturbing actually..

 

it took me a good days work. of course i had never even changed a belt before i did it

 

TOO MUCH INFO ... you sick puppy. I bet when you do change your underwear you just flip them inside out too?
