I've been told it is about 7 hrs to get our clutch replaced? Sounds incredibly long and high$$$ to me, What are you guys experience with this?

Ideas on what brand and $ of clutch to get for everyday driving as well please?

it took 10 hours by the book to replace my clutch, the entire subframe gets dropped. total for labor was about $850. word of advice to everyone, BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR CLUTCHES!!!

I've got a spec clutch coming from the GB abd ford told me the same...10 hrs even though that seems ridiculous to me. I did find a reputable local tranny shop though that quoted me $500 for labor as opposed to the stealership's $675! IIRC correctly they have to drop the subframe to get the tranny out to work on it...PITA job but I still don't see where it should take 10 hours, 6 or 7 I could see but 10 hous is a little high, but that's Ford for you...HIGH.

On a side note, I'll have a SVT clutch and flywheel available soon (just under 40K miles) if anyone's interested I'll probably post it in the classifieds.

21 PSI Turbo Boost ....DUH!!!!!! Just about what I used to run in my 1980 Turbo V8 ...Only lasted about 5-10K Miles that way.


I guess it must be VTEC???

Do you have any clutch advice?

Yeah, replacing a clutch is serious business, lots of labor, especially on a FWD car. Seven hours sounds about right.
