a clutch is going to cost you about 400-500 bucks (possibly more) depending on what you get. labor can be another 500-800 depending on the competency of your mechanic. if you want to do it yourself, it can be done, but I didn't feel like going through it myself. you need to disconnect the drivetrain, drop the tranny, then get into the clutch. it'd be a fun project if you have the time, tools, and patience, but like I said I got mine done at a shop.

what's this AWD car you're picking up? are you getting one of those honda mommy-mobiles (I think they're CRVs)? a subaru? an older audi?

well he sold it so it might be a new guy but I know the russian lives in CO.

AND yeah why not Rhino-line your new car Neil, like the guy in the other thread did. (check out WTF Picard if your lost)
