Damn expensive estimates

**Ryde _Or_Die** · 6-5-03, 18:10

I took my GFs car in to get estimates for a clutch and to get the ac fixed. I thought the AC would just be the compressor because the compressor started to tick and then one day the ticking stopped along with the cold air. AC estimate=$1100

I know it needs a new clutch so I got an estimate for that too=$670

How much can I get a stock clutch for? Is there an upgraded one for around the same price that doesn't have a much strong clutch pedal? Let me know, thanks.

sounds expensive, sorry man.
try rafi's site for upgraded clutch parts, www.rr-racing.com I think.

as far as the AC, I had mine redone last summer, price was 1100 just for the compressor if I went with a new one. Somehow they found a remanufactured one for 600, it was about 900 when all the work and dryer, evaporator, etc. were all replaced. Still trying to pay that credit card off. . .

Sounds like your a/c might just need charging, the compressor will be shutting off if not enough freon is in the system. I would try that first, may be all you need. As for clutch, can't help there.

i had my clutch replaced a while back, i remember finding a few factory style clutches for around 170-200 each, but I just paid to get it done..it came out to just over $700...about $450 was labor

Well if a stock one is $170+, then I might as well get an upgraded one for $175 from South Bend Clutch or whatever.
