OUCH

Some of you may be aware that my clutch let go on Saturday in my Evo 3.

Well after much deliberation I went for an Exedy Paddle Clutch through Camskill. Mike there is a top, top bloke and next day delivery!!

Anyway trying to get it fitted was a whole different ball game. My god. I tried several garages in my local area and all of them said in sympathy "We wouldn't be able to touch that kind of job!!"

I have had to take the kick in the balls and pay £350 to get it fitted!!! :???:

£700 for a clutch change.

Anyway done now!!!

Benny

I think that's about average mate! It's what I paid for the clutch on the V doing, though that did include a flywheel skim.

Glad you have got your 3 fixed.

We have got to keep these early ones on the road :-)

That's' about the average price for fitting to be honest, I know of a couple of people in the cheshire area who would have done it a bit cheaper.

It's all done now though and I bet you had the biggest grin on your face when you had her back. I know we did when we got our new clutch in and it will be the same next week when the new suspension is on ours.
