Price on clutches?

Post by Josh n Kat »

Just wondering how much a can expect to pay for a heavy duty clutch?

I need something to go behind my turbo diesel and my preference of fourbing is along creek beds, slow technical shit that tends to load the clutch up a bit....
Sort of expecting between 800 to 1000 bucks, is this right?

i just bought a exedy sports heavy duty clutch for my cruiser and it cost me $275 trade, very nice looking clutch too and i was told retail was $580

i got a price on a highway standard clutch and it was $220 and a rpm heavy duty clutch was $220 as well, thats both trade price

so unless your going for a brass button or twin plate or something i would guess about $500ish

I spent $450 on a Ci 4TERRAIN from Bursons. I'm installing it at the moment so i can't comment on peformance, but do a search and you'll come up with some of my research.

I'm sure Coventry Autos do Exedy Clutches at trade discounts. You could give them a call.

Yeah 2.8TD clutches are cheap as chips, especially standard duty.

Just got my synchro's replaced and got a H/D clutch put in at the same time.

$545 for the clutch $65 for flywheel machining.

All up for 2 new synchro hub, 3 triple ring synchro's plus the rest of the usual rebuild stuff for just over $2200. This included remove and refit and the cost of teh new clutch and pressure plate.

Heaps nicer to drive when you don't have to double shuffle into 2nd and 3rd.

It runs on recycled Dinosaurs.

yeah been thinking the gearbox is rather rooted in mine too, comes from driving with the stuffed clutch for too long....
