yeah i have no clutch. is it really that much labor putting in the clutch b/c my friend works for a transmission place for a while and hes going to do it as a side job for 400 bucks is that a pretty good price

Try Checking the brake fluid in your clutch. Mine went out... and that's what I had to do.


Good luck mate

$400!!!! **** no....that's pretty expensive this is a honda man you should be able to install it yourself using the how to's. If you dont want to install it then look around and ask for prices...also price will depend on what kind of clutch you choose to get installed.

well at least after you get it replaced you KNOW your good for along time!

theres no I WONDER HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL LAST.
i kinda laugh at my friend with her manual bmw since she has no idea how good it is or when it will go bad and be a HORIBLE repair bill!
