1300? wow. i would reccommend a exedy replacement clutch and a tranny shop installing it.

it's going to run you $$ regardless of who does it.

clutch it not an easy job on these cars. you have to drop the entire subframe and the transmission in order to replace the clutch.

it's a total PITA.

/\ Yup, it's going to be expensive regardless. The parts are only about $300, the rest is all labor. If you get it done for cheaper then make sure it's at a reputable shop. If you take it to some corner mechanic he'd probrably be able to do it for like $800 if you're lucky, but at the same time he's probrably never touched an Si and it'd be his first time doing such an involved repair on the car.

kentarou · 07-08-2008, 09:30 PM

ya, seems like they are charging you about 9 hrs labor + parts...

WhiteSicivic06 · 07-08-2008, 09:35 PM

Id def go with an aftermarket clutch like an exede stage 1 or a clutchmasters stage 2. labor will always get ya tho

WhiteSicivic06 · 07-08-2008, 09:36 PM

Oh yeah, how many miles are on your car?

hondaspeed · 07-08-2008, 09:46 PM

how do you drive your car and once again how many miles on it

kentarou · 07-08-2008, 10:23 PM

ya, honda won't warranty any kind of friction material...like brake pads and clutch, they will consider them as "wear and tear", "abuse"...etc..

exceptions can be made when it's very obvious that the item should not be worn by x mileage...

example, brake pads with 500 miles on them etc etc.

Im curious on the mileage cause he said his is an 06. Mine is too, but shouldnt a stock clutch last 70k plus?
