My clutch is starting to slip and the mechanic iam seeing says i can recondition my clutch for around $780, what do you people think about this, is it worth it. As he says a after market clutch puts to much stress on the gearbox.Any ideas please?

recondition clutch cost 780??!

a new one is around the same price!
aftermarket clutches don't damage the gearbox. its the type of aftermarket clutch that damages the gearbox, eg non organic, heavy duty

plus it also depends on how you drive, launch

who's your mechanic?

it might be $780 fitted

Tenagah is who told me this.They where saying about the pressure plate, maybe i understood wrong.I would like to be able to take off at at least 3-4rpm, what do you you think i should do?

Yeah that was fitted.

when you change your clutch, you usually do the following:
- get the flywheel face reconditioned (or replaced)
- get pressure plate reconditioned (or replaced)

i'd imagine it is 780 fitted, which is fair

i usually would replaced the whole lot, since you dont really want to be doing this too often, as its a bitch of a job (and hence labour cost is the high proportion of the cost)

Exedy sports clutch, lightened flywheel, new pressure plate

Cheers that what i needed to no, do you no what that would cost ?

the Exedy/Daikin sports organic clutch - around 750-800
Lightened flywheel - 500, local chrome moly (Jun brand - $600)
Pressure plate - unsure

but budget around $2000 or so

There goes my budget!With that set up what could i safely launch her at as opposed to the reconditioned option?

stick with original clutch type.
