hello, it seems like my clutch bearings are gone..tranny makes noise (rattle/hiss). But when i press in the clutch pedal the noise goes away... therefore i purchased an exedy stage 1 clutch kit for my 03 civic ex coupe..looking to install. how much labor cost should i expect to pay on average..I don't want to be ripped off. still shopping around.. i'll let yall know if it solves the noise problem when intalled. thanks

 

If you go to a major shop, they will charge you book time. I'm not familiar with your body Civic, but typically it will be around a ~4 hour job. Of course the good techs can do it in half that time.

Labor (at a major shop) alone will probably be in the $300-400 range. Typically Honda will charge around $500 for labor.

 

wow!!! do it urself.... not that hard.. hardest part is lifting ur car high enuff to bring down the tranny

 

Not everybody has the facility or the time to do their own labor.

 

ty for info jona

 

Dealer pays 3.6hours, call your local dealer and see what their labor rate is.

 

Honda charges about 500 bucks but the wont put it anything ellse other than oem parts, atleast thats what they told me. if you live in cali and are into the car sceen im sure you know a friend who knows a friend who knows this guy thats good and cheep so id say just shop around.

 

not everybody has a lift you arrogant ****

 

i just got an exedy stage 1 clutch and a act flywheel done for $295

 

I took my car in to get my clutch and flywheel installed. If I remember correctly, it was 474 bucks to get it done. I feel like the place I went to was expensive. They were one of the best shops in town though. So that's good for me.

Then several months later I wanted to get my input shaft bearing replaced by them. I took my car back and they said it was going to be like 900 in labor. I was like holy hell! So I took it home and did the whole thing myself!

The moral of the story is that YES, you CAN do it yourself at home. You don't need super special tools, just a regular set of mechanics tools would be fine. The problem with our generation cars is that the trans won't just pop out the bottom. You have to either pull the motor out the top, or take the subframe off and drop the trans out the bottom. I pulled the trans out the bottom. When I was pulling the trans off, I looked right there and saw the clutch pressure plate just chillin. Therefore, I thought to myself, wow I guess I could have done it myself. I dis-assembled my car on the side of the road right next to the curb, so you don't need a lift to get it done.

If you take it in, expect to pay like 500 bucks.

Oh and one last bit of advice, you should invest in a flywheel when you go to install the clutch. If you pay 500 now to get the clutch in, then want a flywheel later, it's another 500 to get that in too, but if you put both in at the same time, it's barely any more expensive to get it done.

 

wtf you need a lift for??? ive dropped more transmissions then you could count never used a lift....
