new clutch advice required

[excelboy]

Looks like the clutch is buuuuusted so............

roughly what kind of cost am i looking at to get a twin plate clutch for a fwd???? ($1000 ish?)

does anyone have any names of a good clutch shop/supplier in sydney?

and does anyone else know the rough cost of a clutch int~~~ in a fwd car?

thanx for any help

You'll pay well over $1000 for a twin plate clutch. Why you'd want to fit one to a fwd is beyond me but I suggest you keep saving your pennies if you intend to do it.

yeah i've had a look around and they're quite a bit more.....

the whole twin plate in a fwd surprised me as well but the mechanic and dealer both think/know the car came with one from the factory!

btw its a volvo 850 t5-r

volvo 850 t5-r that sounds beter i was thinking excell by your user name, twin plate on an excell would be over kill to the max

hahah yeah an excel could use a paper mache friction plate and be fine for at least 50K km:D

the reason the question is being asked is because the clutch is slipping under load.

any highly recommended sydney workshops?
