replacement clutch 4.5 Cerb

[s,one]

How much should I be paying for a replacement clutch approx inc labour and parts. Had a couple of quotes and they vary quite a lot.

Cheers

Mine is a 4.2 and was replaced last year incl new slave cylinder and master cylinder - totalled £1200 incl vat and labour.

mine was about £1400 all in but i think that included a flywheel too .... warranty company took the bill

Sorry mate, meant to reply to this earlier and got caught up (work, tsk!).

If I were you I would wait until Crazycats comes back with a report on his refurbished clutch!

Read the thread 'life after ap clutch'.

Unless it is urgent you get this done now then I think it's worth finding out what happens as it could be the answer all Cerb owners are waiting for .

Thanks everyone,Duncan no rush my car is just a little difficult to get into gear. Maybe a clutch problem or something else!. Problem is car is under warranty if it's taken apart and it's found to be the clutch then I pay if it's the fingers or slave the warranty company pick up the tab. suppose I will hang on for a while.

Hang on for a little while longer as the fingers are sure to break like so many others (including mine) then your warranty can take care of it

My clutch cost me just over £500 and fitted it myself, also fitted new slave seals just in case but they are not that expensive.

Just sent you a message Steve,

I would ask whoever does your clutch to replace the seals aswell

From experience

[gbbird]

It will depend on exactly whats wrong with it. If its the full clutch system- slave, master cylinders and fly wheel, then you are looking at around £1200 from a good indie. However, if its just teh salve or master cylinders, then i have had one/both of these replaced for around £600

I had a problem with a 4.5 cerb that was difficult to get into gear - especially when hot - turned out to need a gearbox repair

[TopHat]

Any other problems other than difficulty getting in gear? I found that I was getting increasing "travel" on the actual pedal itself prior to engaging the clutch. I had a sweaty drive out to Silverstone TVR using the last inch of play and they found it to be only the seals. Lots of labour but minimal parts - lot cheaper than the whole deal! Plus, be warned: apparently if the system is going then the cylinders no longer ride true and begin to score one another incurring more and more damage.

Strange thing is I struggle to get the car in gear unless the clutch is pressed to the floor, but lifting of the biting point is probably mid way!

Try having a chat with Adrian at Central TVR - he did my car when I had a similar problem. Uncle Adrian's a top guy so worth knowing!
