Clutch Recommendations for ST205

[sergei]

i have mates that know how to work cars, but they have no idea about an st205, so would rather take it somewhere to get it done. any recommendations for somewhere in auckland?

I know only one place which I can trust and recommend: Subtech
But generally I don't use them myself for much (I used to deal with them constantly on my previous job), as I do everything myself.

gee i wish there was somebody on this forum that would like some cash to take a day out and help me with my clutch ....

Any other car and you'd probably have a few people offering to help. Anything with a 3SGTE = headache

how much cash are we talking...

[ihavelift]

was thinking $150

[Mr Revhead]

An hour? I'm in

[iOnic]

was thinking $150

[levinguy]

i can help for that, but i won't be doing everything myself haha, especially splitting the engine and box

[ihavelift]

$150 for the time i drive in to yours, and drive out with a new clutch in there

If you think this is a bit overgenerous i'm happy to pay less, I'd just rather pay this than $450 odd that it would cost for a full days work at a mechanics shop.

That $150 would be for you to do everything (of course I'd help), if you need somebody else to help out I ain't paying them haha

do you have a garage to do it in? my one is full with my broken car..

correction, anything with 3sgte + 4wd = headache. It took me about 4 hours to do the clutch in my MR2, took me about 4 years to do it in my Celica.

well i would help but the 7-8 hour drive isnt worth $150 lol

yup i do, don't have an carjack or axle stands or the tools you'd need though haha, but i do have a regular jack for changing a tyre, a screwdriver set, a torch and i think a few cable ties

hahahah

do the rear main seal while its all apart. and i'd also look at doing water pump, cambelt, front oil seals etc etc if they are remotely close to being due, is easier when its all out sitting on the floor (they can be done in place but less labour content if the engine is coming out

[ihavelift]

Did all of that minus the rear main seal less than 30k ago.

Can look at doing the seal
