New Clutch Cost

[leelandk]

I have an 2004 Aveo with about 130,000 miles, and my clutch is starting to get really bad. I was wondering if anyone had their clutch repaired and could give me an estimate on how much it cost? Any help would be appreciated

do you need labor or just parts prices?

this is another one of those instances where what people will charge you will be all over the place.. anywhere from $300-1000

Labor and parts. I'm thinking I'll order the clutch kit myself, then try and find a local garage to change it out. Any suggestions on a decent clutch kit?

2004-2007 Chevrolet Aveo Clutch Kit - Sachs W0133-1840146

This is very good oem replacement, it can also handle more power then the stock clutch, i've heard it can handle over 200 hp, but i have no proof of that.

For a stock to stock replacement tho, this is A1!

yes sachs is a very good clutch, the only other one i can think of is kinkyllama.. he sells a high hp clutch that fits as well. probably beyond your needs and price though?

I don't think there are too many Aveo's out there with more then 200HP, but my friend used that same clutch, he loves the feel of it and it's still holding up pretty well after all the times he's dumped it!

Are you sure you wanna replace it though? "If it's not broke, don't fix it" - It might be weaker, unless your racing and what every last bit of performance you might as well just keep it the way it is for a bit.

Yep, I gotta replace it. Its started slipping/revving in October of 09. And its to the point where I'm afraid its gonna go out anytime now. Its pretty harsh.

Appreciate the help finding the Sachs clutch.

U got lucky that it gave you warning, when mine went, it went zing when I shifted to second gear

You mind me asking how much it cost to have it installed?

Depends on where you go. A good mom and pop shop 6-800 bucks. Mine 750 and they did it in one day. I towed it to the shop in the morning and got it back the next. I bought the parts online and gave them to them.
