8. Um...I need an EXACT guess please. To the last red cent.

(Kidding.)

My guess is $722.63.

[taterguy]

1. More than the cost of a good bicycle

Sorry, couldn't resist

Edit: I hate it when I post in a hurry

[amitten]

5. True dat. n/t

3. A

At least, I needed a new clutch a few years ago on my 1997 Fiat Punto and I don't remember getting stung that badly for it. Not over £300 bad, anyway. I don't think.

[amitten]

4. God, I hope you're right. I'm actually asking for a relative of mine

who happens to be broke right now.

I'm thinking I might step up and give him the money if needed...and if I can afford to!

[billyskank]

6. I mean, it won't be cheap

But, it shouldn't be disastrous either. I've had several more expensive things go wrong on my cars before, let's say that.

[amitten]

7. Yeah...luckily Hondas very rarely need repair. I guess after

7 years or so just one repair (the clutch) isn't TOO bad...

[jmowreader]

9. Less than $300. This is an easy repair.

If you have never put a clutch in a Honda and you've got a transmission jack to get it in position--the hardest part of the whole job--it'll take you all day.

[amitten]

10. Oh, the car will have to go to a mechanic.

No one in my circle is even remotely capable of such a repair!

(That would really help, though.)

11. Husband mentioned you might want to have the fly-wheel machined.

[amitten]

16. Hmm...I don't know what that is but I'll check into it. Thanks. n/t

[LeftyMom]

12. last time I paid for one it was $400

But that was an eighties SI, so who knows how much difference that makes. :shrug:

[amitten]

14. That's not too bad....thanks.

If you win, I will spare you pics of my boobies.

[ChoralScholar]

13. Well... clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing

for a Honda will be around 200 for parts, and probably another 225 in labor... so I'm calling about 425.

You can PM me your boobies whenever you find out.... :)

[amitten]

15. You got it, buddy.

Hope your estimate is right...that's a lot cheaper than I was expecting!

[Hawkeye-X]

17. My tranny replacement cost $0 (under warranty)

But it took $250 in car rentals that the dealer wouldn't cover. Sumbitches.

[amitten]

18. Wish this one was under warranty. No such luck. :( nt

19. Cost me $200 for my 1993 Ford Explorer

a couple of years ago.

I miss my truck. *sigh*

[amitten]

20. Really? That sounds super-cheap! n/t
