*SORRY IF THIS IS IN WRONG SECTION*

I've blown my clutch apart and I'm waiting for a new one via post. I've been quoted very different prices to fit it from $300-$900 plus GST! :P Some people have quoted me over $100 just for gearbox oil, then another $88 for a rubber seal around the gearbox, which other workshops haven't quoted me for. Has anyone replaced theirs at a "friendly" price. I'm in Melbourne but I still want to know what others have been charged. Thanks guys.

*I also need a new coolant temperature sensor-pm me if you have a spare*

$900.00?? You sure that did not include the clutch as well?? coz thats a ridiculous price.

$300.00 sounds about right. I work for a transport company and authorised a clutch replacement yesterday which cost $265.00 plus GST on a truck.

And the guy came to our depot and did it. He aslo took the flywheel off and drove away, got it machined and came back.

Took him about 3-4 hours.

Most workshops will charge between $60-$80 per hour for labour.

well i got mine done by direct clutch up here in brisbane and got a up-rated HD GTR clutch installed for $800 including flywheel machining, oils, spigot and throw out bearings. its was $500 for the clutch and $300 labour.

and now i'm getting them to change the box to a GTR one and their charging me $360 and i'm buying the oils. doesn't make much sense but anyway yeah thats the price up here.

thanks fellas- just so i know when I'm being ripped off. seems weird that every mechanic said different things needed replacement. all i was told was there may be a big rubber seal on the back of the 'box that may be damaged-like an $80 gasket, and the flywheel machining was $40-$50. So $450-ish would be the max I'd like to pay for a good job.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
