Ive done it a few times...kinda sucks lmao.

Give a call to tork motorsports. Tell him Tom with the S4 sent you and see what he can do for you. He is in auburn and is an AWESOME shop.

So far Performance Prep and Kent Performance. I'll try Tork.

I could do it myself, as the car is not my daily driver, but I just don't want to. I've been doing an engine swap on another car in the garage for well over a year. Got it apart and lost motivation, and I don't want the same to happen to the Cobalt.

Meaning I might just have to pay up.

Let us know what you find out from Tork. I will be looking soon me self. 106K on the original clutch/flywheel

I called Tork and the quoted a bit over $400 (under $500 anyway) So I placed an order for the KY clutch stage 3.

Under 500 labor to do a TC clutch and not even supplying the parts? Let us know how it turns out. If it turns out ok he might have a freakin bunch of them to do.

You haven't done any other cars then. Most you can get away without dropping the subframe. I did my tercel the first time in about 4 hours start to finish. I can't do that on a cobalt now even though I have it down to a science.

mr84monte

Not yet, I'm most likely going to schedule it for last week in May or 1st week in June.

sweeet! Ya, John (owner and mech at tork) is AWESOME

mr84monte

More than a year later and I'm finally getting it done. I need to talk with John at Tork because I asked how much it is now (I couldn't really remember for sure till I found this thread) but he said $600-$650. Still a good price compared to others who have no idea what the job is like. Anyway I'm getting it done on the 6th. If anyone else needs to have a clutch put in, let me know.....I think It would help get a deal if I can tell him other are waiting on my outcome.

I'll be looking for a shop to have a clutch / flywheel replaced around December or January.

mr84monte

He takes pride in his work, and I'd surly use him again for other stuff. I'm still not sure how I like the new clutch, because of how it grabs, but I still need to get use to it. 2+ months later and I've yet to put 200 miles on it. For me, I don't think I needed a stage 3 clutch, but I was talked into it. I'm not going to do much more if anything horsepower wise (about 320hp to the crank now) and I think stage 2 would have been good enough. Then again I keeping thinking I'm going to sell it, so the next guy will be happy if he decides to build it up.
