What are the odds of passing rego with a shuddering clutch?
I'm guessing not good...
In follow-up how much does it cost for that to get replaced? I don't have the time to do it myself, not even sure if I could if I did have the time. A friends son's is a mechanic for $55 an hour assuming a clutch is $200 what am I looking at? I have read some on clutch replacement stuff I read that I have to get my fly wheel machined too, am I on the right track? |

the machine is a bit pricey, but then the labour is cheap. so all good.
must be a fancy heavy duty clutch at that price. |

As long as the car can be driven it could pass rego, a warn clutch isn't a rego deffect, that price is about the correct going rate the flywheel matching is a little steep i'm pretty sure it costs us like $40 to machine the flywheel for our customers, and then depening on the modle of your car the hole subframe has to be droped to remove the gearbox, so its a fairly big job, probly allow about 6-8 hours depending on the modle but if you've been quoted 330 for the labour thats pretty good, and i haven't checked the link to the clutch but i'm thing if it a hd clutch that all up a pretty good price

Alot of flywheel machine costs are in the transport of the item. |
