Recommended mechanic for mr2 clutch replacement? Mon, 22 August 2005 00:47 Go to next message
Hi,

I have a mr2 sw20 which is in need of a new clutch. Im a little wary of taking this to any mechanic and wondered if any of you guys could recommend one from experience and if you have had a clutch replaced in a mr2 how much has it costed you. I've had quotes of around the $1000 mark which I presumed it would be before I started looking around.

Regards

stidnam

PS I live in Sydney

Good place to start.

if its just a standard style daiken/exeedy then i would expect the 650-700 mark any more and your getting ripped...
h/d daiken/exeedy about the 800 mark and thats generous.

Spanktown

Could you possibly give me contact details for them. I can't seem to locate them in the whitepages

FWDCelica

Just rang my local toyota dealship and they quoted $381 for the stock clutch kit and then around $100 per hour to labour + any extras. That could rack up quite a bill.
