in my 1995 stock 5 speed.... after i was done, all of a sudden i couldn't switch gears, and my clutch goes in a lot easier than usual.... any ideas about what my dumbass did?

thanks

are you sure you burned the tires? Not the clutch? It can be done as it will smoke also

 

how did you burnout? if you did it right it should have been push clutch in, get on gas, then quickly shift foot on clutch to brakes, and then burn em up

if you just had the clutch in and stomped on the gas keeping the clutch in, yeah you burned your clutch instead

 

yeah I saw smoke coming from from engine too...im sure I got the the tires smoking also though. what i did was held the clutch down with my left foot and gas with my right. then sort of with my left foot got onto the brake really fast. (i don't have a linelock)

 

Yep, sounds like you smoked the clutch. Just drive it easy for the next few days and see how it does. If it gradually gets better and returns to a "normal" feel and doesn't slip, it'll be fine. If you REALLY smoked it and glazed the friction material too badly, it will slip almost constantly and will have to be replaced.

 

well right now I can't even put it into gear, so i called up triple A, towed it to the shop to have them look at it. im pretty sure the clutch is done. what am i looking at as far as prices go for a new clutch and labor?

thanks for all the replies

its a 5 speed so im assuming its a v6, i had a 95 v6, and i believe i payed 160 for a stock clutch and around 200ish for a certified installation, but i ended up ****ing up the master clutch cylinder also so in all it was about 500 to fix it

 

so the shop called back, and they want 860$. they said I blew the clutch. does this sound about right?

 

sounds a little steep

 

yeah thats what I was thinking, but I really dont have a choice as I don't have the tools or knowledge to fix this.

thanks for the help guys.

call around and ask for some prices on just replacing your clutch. they should be able to tell you the maximum amount they can charge for this job.

$160 for the clutch
+$480 labor at $80 hr for 6 hours =$640

just a guess but would say a should could easily do it in 6 hours. I know I could

 

They replaced the transmission clutch and flywheel for 260.00 plus clutch price. But try to steer clear of dealers.
