Does $680 sound about right? I have a transmission shop doing it and they quoted me that much to do it. I trust them becuase they did my Hondas tranny rebuild last year. Imma give them a call tomorrow to let them know.

 

^^That sounds about right to me, I paid a little over $600 to have a clutch R&R done on my Cobalt.

 

yeah i have the parts already, Pressure Plate, Disc, Bearing, Flywheel. So thats just for labor

 

Yep. Did their figure include shop supplies? That's the only reason mine went over $600.

 

not sure, but imma call him tomorrow and tell him monday the 17th is the best day for me, i got that whole week off, and then Cobalt is back in action and i hope no one gets in my way and i can finally feel the full out power of the 2.8

 

I was quoted $450 by a very good performance shop for labor, but i guess it varies in shops.

 

i was quoted at a high performance shop at 600

 

yeah these guys do every dam transmission out there, and he looked at me funny when i said it only had 24,000 miles on it and i blew the clutch haha

 

well damn my friends clutch started slipping at 18k on a totally stock Redline (somebody was racing to much), haha, Saturn said the clutch plate broke in half.

 

DAM!!! idk i learned how to drive stick on this car too so could have been that too. But hey new clutch is fun to play with

 

My dealer wants $700 for a clutch install, and Amco who deals with transmissions says $550. Has anyone dealt with Amco before in MA, or know a better performance shop that can do clutch installs?

 

Hey do not let the Dealer do it, they will rip you off and im sure your car will be gone forever......

 

and your warrenty

 

iirc, book time is 8.2 hours to replace the clutch and bleed the slave. based on typical shop rates, those prices seem about right. i know up here in canada were everything costs so much more, my shop would be around $750.

 

yeah the guy told me 8 hours, so imma call him back tomorrow and tell him to book my cobalt in. I CANT FREEKING WAIT!!

 

ITS FINAL!!! Monday the 17th she goes in. He said he will try and do it in that day, if not i will have it Tuesday. I CANT WAIT!!

 

my dealership said 600, a speed shop said 700, a more reputable shop said 800, and another reputable shop said 525... go shop around someone is going to be cheaper than others...

 

I did, some said 600, some said 700, these guys said 680. Reason why i went with AA Transmission is becuase they did my Honda Accord's Transmission last year and many more trannys on other people's cars. They are great heard many great things and the guys there know what they are doing and check up on the car every so often to make sure its still running as the day it left the shop.

 

shoulda did it urself lol..

 

DANG!!! Thats a smokin deal!

I got three quotes for mine and the lowest was $800!!!

Needless to say I did it myself!

 

Yeah and when will i have time for that?

Full Time college student, and 4 jobs. Even my Sundays are packed all day

 

Or they'll give your car back with a giant dent and curb rashed rims and tell you they'll only fix the body damage.

 

i just got my car back fro m having a new clutch put in it cost me $540 that was with them puting in motor and tranny mounts

 

if you trust the shop i say go with it. i would gladly spent a little extra $$$ to have someone i trust work on my car.

 

good point as well.
