Hey guys, so got a quote on a replacement clutch (exedy HD) and new bushes for the gear lever as its worn out and rattling + labour = $2k!

seems a bit steep on the labour side of things?????

It sounds about right from what people have been charged previously, I could be wrong though.

....and fuild changes on gearbox as well.

Clutch change (inclusive) should only be about $600 on top of the purchase price of the clutch.

for $2K, i'd be wanting something nicer than an Exedy...

Seems reasonable to me, only if includes the clutch

ta guys

yeah it includes clutch (FJK-7350HD) + install + gearbox fuild change + gear lever bushes change..

Can the gear lever bushes from an 07 model be used in the earlier models to remove some lever slop?

A decent workshop should have the box out in 3 hours, clutch changed, fluids changed etc. Back in with a total of 6 hours or so. 80 an hour $480
Clutch kit: $700. Nothing at all wrong with exedy, exedy make the sti twin plate clutches etc (ill report on one when I get it in next month or so).
Decent gearbox oil (ELF/Total that PMS use is amazing in the 6 speeds, or the castrol that mike south uses both are brilliant). $200

Bushes for shifters, just order the shit from Kartboy/TiC/Rallispec.

As food for thought, also get the rear main seal changed. Good time to do so and its only an extra few bolts to undo.

So anywhere from 1500 to 2000 I can see as reasonable.

thanks for the feedback guys. always good to know what to work with or expect.

kiks, i'll mnention the rear seal... as you say may as well while its there.
