Greetings!
After 217K miles on the original clutch, my clutch is starting to occasionally slip. As the original owner of the truck, I have no complaints about getting ONLY 217K out of it.
I have started getting some quotes to have the clutch replaced. I live in the Seattle, WA area (Woodinville).
My quotes are coming in around $800-$900. These are from independent shops and not dealerships.
On the low end of the range they are not using OEM parts. On the high end of the range they are specifying OEM parts.
I am not all that mechanically inclined and will want to have someone do the work.
As an aside, this has been a GREAT truck. I bought my truck new in January, 1990. I finally had to replace the front brake pads and rotors at 150K. I am still on the original rear drums.
I have gone through three sets of tires and batteries. Did the timing belt at 90K with the truck was going through the head-gasket recall campaign.
Anyway, does this price range for the clutch replacment seem correct?
TIA,
-Chris
