hey, how long does the factory service manual list for a clutch job in a 2.2/2.4?

the dealer quoted me at 750 worth of LABOR!!!!!!!!

at their 89 bucks an hour, that's 8.4 hours, i don't think so.

so, does anyone know how long the official time is?

 

dosent seem to far off. never worked on a balt but usually its atleast 5 hours in the books for a clutch. im a automotive technician btw

 

did that included parts too?? If not I would shop local tranny shops, they would prolly get you done for 500 parts+labor

 

that's just labor.

i've got a SPEC stage 2+ on the way.

 

looking it up on alldata, yea it lists standard labor time at 8.4 hours. i havent worked on a cobalt yet, but with a full subframe to pull, it takes a while to do a clutch job.

 

DING DING... thought they had to pull the subframe but i wasnt sure

 

Joe... That really sucks... It did not get any better???

 

dude, it doesn't even move now.

literally, it's sitting in my garage, you can put it in gear, and just let the clutch out... it'll just spin

 

God damn! There's some place north of 60 that replaced my mother's flywheel in her van & it was like 800-900 including parts & labor... I will ask her tomorrow about it... I hope it gets better for ya... if that's possible.

 

well, it looks like i'm going to be spending a day or two on the floor of my garage.... i'm not spending that kind of money just to be lazy.
