Haha So I called to find out how much the dealer would charge to install a SS clutch line and they quoted me $250.00 just for the labor. How crazy is that?
And I already have the clutch line and high temp fluid

 

correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there alot of labor involved?

 

From what I've read you can do it yourself.

 

Realistically speaking, a 2 hour job for them. Bring in the car, raise on the lift, disconnect, lower, disconnect,route, connect, raise, connect, fill res. Bleed.

85.00 an hour ? 200.00 ? to cover there *** ? Little Hi. DIY

 

The connections can be a PITA. Some use drive pins. Sounds simple and IS, but more to it than meets the eye for a kick *** clean job.

 

Is this on a '07 where it doesn't have a triditional slave cylinder? Rather the whole the unit throwout bearing/slave cylinder just sits in the tranny.

 

Then do it yourself and send me half the $250 for the advice. See you just saved $125.

If they went to that design ( Others have ) then as a rule the bleeder and the line connection are still on the exterior of the trans.

They are a PITA to bleed out

 

Took me maybe 30 minutes to replace the line with the Z on a lift, but about 1 1/2 hrs. to bleed the darn thing with new hi-temp fluid - lots & lots & lots of pedal pumping to get it fully operational... Well worth it after boiling the OEM fluid twice in a weekend at the Tail of the Dragon a couple years ago.

$250 sounds like a little too steep, but then again, it IS a dealership....

 

IT a pita to install, but I only got charged for one hour of labor at the dealer ($100).

 

It not a PITA! It takes all of 1 hour (TOPS) with the help of a friend to bleed the system when your done.

 

I meant pita if you are only one person doing the swap and bleed. You're right w/ the help of another it should take under an hour.

 

way too expensive....I think they just don't want to do it.

1.0-1.5 hour labor TOPS including bleeding the clutch.
