Clutch replacement/repair cost
I've been quoted 550 for parts and 805 for labor to replace the clutch in my 64 v8 barracuda. Apparently the original 9" isn't available but that shouldn't be an issue given they availability of 9.25 and 10"
Any thoughts....my first barracuda and I'm needing some help to know what makes sense for a replacement. I found OEM plus throw out bearing for about 225 online. Why 550 bucks? Thanks in advance for the help guys |
If you go to a 10" clutch you would need a flywheel, clutch disk, pressure plate through out bearing and maybe a new belhousing ??? I would check with Summit Racing OR Ebay $800 for labor ??/ or is that the total ?

The listing says 10" clutch ??? Have you taken it apart ? Was it changed from a 6 cyl ? |
on some older mopars I.E. 9" a 10"-11" clutch may not clear the bellhousing. if memory serves me. right.

Here's something 9 1/4 clutch listed for a 6 cyl but may be what you need ???
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...%26+Drivetrain and someone who does clutches and has the air tools could probably do it in 2.5 hours + 1/2 to jack it up and support on jack stands.. 4 bolts and the drive shaft comes out, 2-3 bolts and the shifter comes out 4 bolts on the cross member 2 bolt on the trans mount. 4 bolts and the trans comes out !! 2 bolts for starter 5 bolts for the bell housing. 6 for the pressure plat and another 6 for the flywheel... an an air ratchet /impact makes quick work of it... Send the flywheel to machine shop and have it re surfaced re assemble with locktite on bolts |
if it takes them 8 hours they must work really slow.

The biggest scam is the labor rate manual
