i have a 2000 cavi 5speed manual and i think i burnt my clutch out and need a whole new one
anyone ever replaced a clutch assembly or know anything about it?
im not even completly positive it is my clutch but i know its something along that long and it scred how much it could cost to have repaired

if you dont know how to do it, i dont suggest it. you have to pull the tranny out

well when mine blew It was around 1200 but i went to a dealership and i also got a new throw out bearing, flywheel, and clutch cables put in. dont go to a dealership go to an ase certified domestic inddpendent dealer. normal dealerships will cost you 75 to 80 bucks an hour and its about an 8 to 9 hour job. independents will charge like 45 to 50 an hour. good luck man!

my car has nearly 74,000 miles (approx 20,000 miles in last 14 monthes alone)
this is my first stick shift manual car so i was alittle rough on it , thnk it is due for a clutch?
i wasnt planning on doing it myself since ive never done it before $700--850 resonable ?

Please, you can change a clutch in like 4 hours.

my cavalier is my first front wheel drive car im use to my truck and older cars that are real wheel driven, u could really change it in 4 hours???

If you don't fart around and focus. A mechanic on the other hand...

if you know what your doing im sure you can.

Honestly, changing the clutch is pretty easy. It's getting everything out of the damn way that's the pain. You've gotta get the motor supported, pull out the left halfshaft and half the suspension on the left wheel then you just unbolt the trans.

Of course, that's WAY simplified.

not to bad. Pain in the arse.
