$1200.00 clutch repair....

[My_Teal_V6]

Well driving between jobs this morning I approached an intersection, pushed the clutch shifted to neutral and went to shift into second. Nothing. Tried again, nothing. Pulled over and looked under the car, there hung my clutch resivour (sp) in 2 pieces. Took it to the shop and my pressure plate was froze and my bell housing broke. They said the tranny is okay so their replacing the bell housing, clutch and pressure plate. While there and up on the lift I'm having them replace the fuel filter, diff. fluid, and oil change. Should have done the clutch this spring like I wanted to.....

Does that deal include your arm and/or leg too...?

Now this may be a dumb question, but that astronomical price includes the parts too, right?

Don't ask how I broke the bell housing....The resiviour connects to the housing and that is the part that broke off the housing. Snapped the bracket right off. The cable, resiviour, and hose were just hanging on the ground, fluid every where. The price is for parts and labor. That also included inspection, oil change, and rear diff.
Yeah I could have shopped around but what the heck he has it on the lift so I told him to just go ahead and do it. Since the rear diff. looks like it has not been messed with in years I had him go and change that as well. I look at it this way, get it done now and not later. But as hind sight goes. I tossed around the idea to replace the pressure plate and clutch earlier this year...
So I had to go and get a loan to take care of most of it I bought new tires as well. Toyo Para4 245/50/R16 C&J tire recomended them and a another Camaro owner stood by them as great tires. So well see.

Note that his car is a 3.4 and has a completely different clutch setup than the 3.8 cars.
