Hey all... ive done a small amount of research on locations to get my ACT clutch installed and the cheapest ive found was about 300bux. Any of you local guys know of a place near hialeah/Miramar/Hollywood for about the same price or better? Thanks for the help in advance

 

denny have you talked to Joel (xA) or maybe jose with the xB that owns his own transmission shop?

 

naw.. lol.. didnt know they did trannys... are they resonably priced?

 

well u can PM joel and see what he says.. and jose.. if u want i can call alex in the xb he has his number and u can ask him how much he would charge...ill pm u alex black xb's number

 

thanks homie

 

let me know what you find out! cause i am thinking about changing my clutch and flywheel!

 

i charge $30/hr..

 

and how long will it take

 

thats not too bad.. how much should i expect to pay for the total install? Ive got the clutch disk, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and alignment tool.. thats it... so fluid and any other thing i might need i dont have.

 

i'm guessing 6 hours maximum. tC is a much bigger pain than my car, so i should really say 8.

 

would that include the fluid? or anything else i might need?

 

how would my labor include fluid? lol

 

hahaha... blood? sweat? lol.. jk.

do you have your own shop? or do you do this on the side? Any idea what else i would need besides what ive got already? what type of fluid? brand? how much of it? anyother pieces i might need? im planning to do this early Nov, so would like to know how much exactly im gonna need and have the materials ready. Thanks again

 

denny go get yourself some redline MT90 ..you'll need about 3 bottles of it.. theres a few places in miami that sell it.. LMK if u need help locating it.

 

these threads should be very helpfull on info on mt90

you don't need to drain any fluid to do this job.. it's recommended, but hey, i change my gear oil every 10K anyway, regardless..

i would be working out of my shop in ft laud. this is not a hangout however, so it would be only you, me and maybe one other guy there.

 

^^ i think he's at his mark to change the tranny fluid joel thats why.. .. alot of us are around 30k

 

yeah lol i was in the back working on a driveshaft and it dawned on me what y'all were talking about ;) i skim read so i miss a lot of important stuff..

either way, whoever needs the install, just pm me, give me a week notice at least, and have the car to me by friday at 5 so there's NO chance of problems getting it done by monday. i like to play it safe ;) not like i did when i did my swap alone..

 

forklifts FTW joel lol.

 

yup.. forklifts and rope and chain and a lot of swearing..

oh and Monster M-80
