Alan gsd Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Seems my 2005 CRV desel 2.2 CRV is after 136.000 mikes in need of a new clutch been given a priice of £1100 fitted does this seem a fair price? Its booked in for next week at the local garage I use. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Seems fair enough considering the level of work required to replace the clutch I would, however, be expecting to have the Dual Mass Flywheel replaced within that cost as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan gsd Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Thanks Trevor, the dual mass flywheel is in the price. First time I've ever had a clutch need replacing on any car I've had. This little CRV has a tow bar on the back don't know hpw much work she did but is it true towing does wear a clutch out quicker?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Ah that's an even better price then! Clutches can wear faster when towing heavy weights (twin axle car trailer for example) but it is also the stop-start motion on the transmission which is being pushed to the limit unless the trailer is braked and then this can reduce the 'whiplash' on the transmission components 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
