$$$$ to change clutch Ft Lauderdale

Seems my clutch is shot to hell, feels very spongy and makes this whiny sound. anyone know how to change it out. Will pay for who ever does it. thanks. car is drivable, by the peddle is almost to the floor.

could be just your master or slave cylinder going bad, letting air in or slowing bleeding and losing pressure.

All my 7s needed master and slave cylinder replacement, seems to be a common problem. Just check your fluid level, if it is low then you know what the problem is.

Better to buy NEW than used. They really aren't expensive and you would have piece of mind...

yes, new is definitely the way to go and I say definitely get both master and slave at the same time because in both my cars one went right after the next, it might have been coincidence but why chance it. I say get steel braided lines too then you will have the HE-MAN clutch.

no doubt, I already did a buy it now for both master and slave brand new for $65.00 bux shipped . so I will have a girlie-man clutch until the steel one arrives lol. I ordered the steel one so hopefully, now something else wont go out. I think I might go to advance and get a rebuild kit for both also and repair my one one, just to have a spare, cuz u never know
