Would anyone care to hazard a guess on how much it would be to change the clutch on a 55 plate Bspec estate?

thanks

Probably same time as an Impreza. 4hrs or less. Depends on how many times you've done it before and if you have another pair of hands to help out in which case it could take just a couple of hours.

Your average man in his garage with normal tools/jacks/stands, and doing it for the first time on his own might take a day over it from start to finish.

Handy if you have a garage with a pit or ramps and a gearbox jack/stand. Quick to do on your own then.

You may be better off buying your own clutch because it might be that you want to upgrade, otherwise a good quality better than OEM Exedy or Greddy clutch might be £350+. At least then you know what's going in.

You'll need to get your flywheel skimmed (c.£60-£80) or get an exchange flywheel (c.£120) or a new one (c.£180).

Labour charge to do the change depends on where you go and may cost upwards of £300-£350.

If you get an independent scooby specialist to supply the clutch and exchange flywheel, plus labour it you might be looking at £600-£800 all in. Just depends on where you go.

You'll just have to add vat (20%) to the above guesstimates.

If you have the time and tools try to DIY instead as that will pay dividends. You'll learn something new and save a decent wedge!!
