Has anyone done there own and if so how bad was it how long did it take.

 

it's not fun... pm 2k5sssc? he just did his

 

Hey POWERZ, we got to set a date up so I can come up and get that strut bar, $75 right?, and my friends wants to ask you a couple questions about his strut bar and see if you will help him with a front mount.

Let me know

as for the clutch, I can see it taking a good amount of time and being a real pain in the ass! Good luck, let me know if you want help Ill come up and give you a hand.

 

I can swap tranny's in about 6 hours now, but add in the clutch and such probably about 7.5 or so..
and gm charges 20 hrs labor for it too...

 

me and my dad just did mine this weeknd it took about 9 hrs..... soo yeah it was a real pain in the ass i wouldnt recomend doing it i would find someone else to do it its a job that will ruin ur weeknd if you know what i mean

 

SO if i I bring the parts and my car and I help you will do it you say you will do it for how much. I have done many 4x4 trucks but never a front wheel drive car so I rather do it with someone who has done it before.

Yeah man I have sold 2 local both diff looking then mine .And sure glad to help him.just pm me

 

sorry man... done three not doing it again until I do my car..... too much of a headache and I don't have a garage anymore anyway

 

I will be doing the clutch myself one day, hopefully I can wait a while, not looking forward to ripping my car apart to that level. It will be fun, but also a pain in the ass.

 

gm, actually pays their techs 5.4 hours for the cluch install, that is including R&I of the transaxle...

 

got a price for a stock clutch installed 1100$ damn he said a 9 hr job?

 

sorry about the hr confusion.. that was for an engine swap... lookin at the wrong thing

 

It is a pain in the ass on jackstands in the garage. 16 hours total on my back. I am real meticulous, but that's what it took. On a lift, it can be done in 6 hours easy though. It makes things ten times harder when you're working by yourself, on your back, and sliding in and out from underneath the car 100's of times. If have any questions let me know. Good luck man!

 

ever since i started using lifts, in my head the only thing a jack is used for is changing a flat tire... lifts do make jobs go by about a 100 times faster.

 

Thats one project I wouldnt touch. I suggest you to bring your parts to a shop that you trust and pay their labour.
