My local dealer quoted me $685 labor, what does your dealer charge per hr of labor $200? That's outrageous.

 

why is this so cheap? how many ftlbs of torque is this clutch rated to? if this is the exact one my buddy had he made 412whp382ftlbs, seemed good for him

 

im going to your buddies garage haha

 

I wouldn't pay anymore than $500 labor.

 

I would like to find a shop that charges $500 or less in NJ.

 

This. $500 around here will get it done in someone's backyard on a weekend with only floor jacks.

 

Lol so many cheap asses in here. Book time is 8.1 hours for a clutch and 6.1 for warranty (which obviously doesn't apply here since it's customer pay) and that's what you're going to be billed at regardless of how long it actually takes

 

Even at 8 hours that's should be around $800 based on the common $90 and hour rate. My dealers wants 1285

 

So just to recap, buy the GMPP kit from Ced, pick up a new flywheel, new flywheel bolts, clutch pipe , and good?

 

Damn, you guys get ripped. I had 2 buddies pay $400 each for a clutch job at a indy shop after they saw me struggle in my garage.

 

Only difference between the GMPP and LNF clutch is the disc itself. Both are extremely capable of holding big power. FWs are almost identical too. Smaller dowels on LNF FW I believe. LuK manufactures an OEM LNF replacement FW that can be had for $110-120.

My 40k stocker is holding 378ft/lbs. However, I just picked up another stocker to replace it as my TOB/slave is dying and if I'm going in there, I might as well replace it all.

Fwiw, my previous RY sedan held well over 400ft/lbs running ethanol without a hiccup. The clutches are VERY capable

 

Found the kit for cheaper at summit. CED wants $302 Shipped for the clutch. Summit wants $270 with free shipping

Yes or get your stock flywheel resurfaced. I would just buy new though ftom zzp

 

Do I need pressure plate bolts too?

 

I think that they are tty so yes, I would.

They are like $2.30 apeice on gmpartsdirect

 

im fairly sure that the pressure plate bolts are not tty, but they do come with the clutch kit. at least they came with my gmpp kit

 

From Ced?

 

I'm in pa lol it's Easy you can do it yourself.

 

Lol hell yea I'd do it for 500 bucks in a day .

 

Anyone ever mess around with a GMPP pressure plate and a different disk? or any kind of mismatched setup like that?

 

Does anyone's grind when shifting to reverse?

 

Then they obviously charge more then the "normal" rate. Around my area a shop would never be able to survive at $90 an hour

 

As in too high right?

 

i,m confused i thought the kit was 19212712 ? or are the parts the same ? or is the above the stock kit ?

 

The HHR clutch kit is the stock clutch. The LSJ clutch upgrade is the GMPP (19212712)
