Keeping in mind that this will include flywheel prep (resurfacing, boring for new pilot bearing, and pressing in new bearing).

I've heard as cheap as $400, and as much as $700.

Personally, I think $400 is borderline too cheap, and it might be a shadetree job. OTOH, $70o seems like a ripoff.

So, you guys who PAID to have the clutch installed-- what did it run you, ballpark figures??

I want to have it done RIGHT at a fair price. I'm not trying to rip anyone off or get ripped off. Honest work deserves honest pay.

 

~$390, IIRC. Christian Brothers Automotive, right around the corner and down the street from my house.

If you have a jack, regular tooling,, a flat concrete surface (garage, it doesn't have to close), and one free day do it yourself. The only thing that can be difficult is getting the crossmember out. If you have a portapower or a small jack assited by someone with a 2" block it is no issue.

But then again I am cheap. I've had mine out four times. Once for a pilot bearing, once for t/s, once for BFS clutch, and once to fix pilot bearing right. I got is down to about 5 hours, taking time to properly torque everything and lunch.

I paid $650 to have mine changed out at a full service repair shop.
Did NOT want to tackle that NV5600 in my driveway!

 

TiminVa did mine in three hours flat for less than 400 =P

 

Book time to R&R transmission is about 6hrs. So take that times there shop rate that should give you an idea if your being ripped off or too cheap. I'm going to have the dealer install it, they quoted me $480.00.

Tye

P.S. What SBC did you get?

 

Con FE.

I don't tow and I always start in first, so why not

 

Local shop quoted $350...

I payed about $400 for the install and about $75 for the flywheel work. Local diesel performance shop did mine.

I also have the FE and start in first. To start in second you buck a little, unless you raise the rpms to about 1400. With the FE you won't have to do it again...

 

I paid $300+$30 to resurface the flywheel...

 

Hohn, for the 6-speeds, I charge $375 plus the flywheel work, which is usually less than $50. Do I fall into the shadetree category?, lol.

The entire process takes 3 hours, if your taking your time. Again, this is with the proper tools, and a lift.

 

Did some calling around yesterday for mine cuz I have no time

Lowest $320

Highest $680 (Dodge)

 

Hey Sixpack why does SBC's website say that the Con O (in your sig) is for Non-ETH rigs?
I'm thinking for me to me covered up to 550hp (eventually ) that I would need the MU 1947 Con. FE and still be able to tow my 10k lb. 5er.

 

Fred, you're not *quite* what I'd consider shadetree...

I didn't know they HAD trees where you live!!


Looks like I should expect quality work for <$500.

 

That's the clutch I ordered.

You'll be able to tow your 10K 5er, but you'll be wishing you got the OFE every time you take off.

Or so I hear.....
