sounds bout right, 70 beans to machine the flywheel if sent out. we charge anywhere between 300 and 500 depending on car, whether it has exhaust/extractors in the way, if its 4wd etc etc etc. what have you been quoted?

mate PM slide, hes on the gold coast (i think) and ive read somewhere that he can do them for $310 which includes flywheel machining and gearbox oil change, which is pretty damn good IMO. i paid $280 btw, but im in sydney.

ive been quoted about 350-470 (more likely 470) as i am getting a jim berry clutch and he want the gasket changed on the gearbox i think and that means oil aswell and a spriget bearing, the flywheel will already be machined as jim is doing that.

Who does slide work for, I will have a triple plate clutch for sale soon :D

hey mate

i got a jim berry clutch also for my GTS-T Type m

and Bel garage have roughly quoted about $500

not really fussed if there is someone cheaper to save a few $$$ as bel garage are pretty damn good and they do all my work, i can trust em, lets jus hope they dont have another break in :santa::D

Quick update for me....

Was quoted $470 for a company on the Central Coast, went thru them today and was charged $403.70

Very happy

Got the cushion/button from slide.

I was worried about the clutch pressure as it's my everyday commuter to syd and back.

It's now twice as EASY to press down.

Rang em when i got home thinking they'd put the wrong one in but he said that's normal and said it was the semi/button they put in.

Apparently the newer ones are getting made better or something along those lines.

But anyway, i'm stoked ! Better clutch, no more slipping, cheaper than expected, and easier to drive...Sewwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeett !!

:D

Quick EDit:

Everything i said positive about this clutch i take back, it's a piece of shit and is slipping, since day 1.

Now 3 weeks later it needs replacing. Total crap.

By the way, i'm not the only one.

good stuff, I ended up getting my bearings done in my gearbox, syncro's deglazed (was going to replace then but they were pretty new) and the new clutch in for $800.00 at A1 Gearbox and Diff at the goldcoast, very happy :D

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
