What area? How long you got?

Horny_Devil · 17th May 2007, 11:35 AM

if u have everything needed to do it (tools jack axel stands etc) it will probably take about 3hours

even at a work shop it shouldnt cost u more than about $200 to do it

man thats cheap, love to know which workshop will do it for that cheap, i would say on average they will charge 6-8 hours labour, so aroind 400-500, now whether that how long it actually takes is another storey

pm me, i dont mind doing it, can do it this weekedn if u wnt

Horny_Devil · 17th May 2007, 11:41 AM

well we did mine in the weekend and it took 3 hours outside in the rain. we used axle stands and a jack and took it all out by hand.

expect to pay 60-70 labour shop. but u can find some that will do it as low as 30-35 an hour for a good job.

yeah sounds about rite, 3-4 hours, but good luck finding an honest shop

cha siu · 17th May 2007, 11:45 AM

I'm in the process of getting a clutch off BTLF3D, I've been quoted 420$ (from a work shop for the install), so I guess that sounds about right

b16a2 · 17th May 2007, 11:46 AM

just get someone on here to do it, be way cheaper

cha siu · 17th May 2007, 11:47 AM

Cheap doesn't mean it will do a good job.

totally understand that

except this guy has built countless hondas, (EP3 24h endurance car) and has done a top job on all of them.

not working at the moment though :wink:

but on the other side of the coin 60-70 an hour doesnt mean its gonna be a good job either

DA6 takes longer then a dc-eg thou coz they got them bars that run from the front cross member sumtimes a real ass to get out but yer shouldnt take more then 4 hour's

LOWXTC · 17th May 2007, 04:50 PM

My DA6 clutch took approx 4-5 hours to install through work, They charged mates rates $150 total. I did get a quote range from $4-500 up to Honda chch said anything up to $650-$700 8O But it always pays go to someone whos been recommened, price doesn't mean everything.

Shadow Sol · 17th May 2007, 06:29 PM

at work you would get charged 4 - 5 hours ($90ph) plus machining your flywheel which we outwork which is about $60 from memory

eg9gurl · 17th May 2007, 06:45 PM

My friend has a very good honda mechanic and wil be able to help you out if you want it done in the weekend, worked for honda for a long time and does work on a good price basis.

pm me for more information.

chuckles2 · 17th May 2007, 06:58 PM

id charge 4 hours, 60 per hour = 240 plus tax for install plus 60 or so for flywheel machine.

lifting it off my stomach is the most important job!!

Horny_Devil · 17th May 2007, 07:18 PM

haha yea ur lucky its not a B series box then

phonix · 17th May 2007, 07:26 PM

Took me 5 hrs the first and only time I've done it in my DA6. DA's are harder to do the clutch on than ITR's, new Civics etc IMO.

chuckles2 · 17th May 2007, 07:26 PM

especially when the caster rod nuts are rusted to fuck!

NAspirated · 17th May 2007, 07:36 PM

i was talking bout the extra weight on my nuts, but yea that too.

the castor rod is more of a pain to put back in than take out. nowhere to put a jack against the lower arm to take the pressure off.
