i have a 99 civic ex 5 speed and it needs a new clutch i put a new clutch in it before but thats whenever i was putting a new engine in it. how hard is it to put a new clutch in (i know its a broad question) or better yet…how much would a garage charge to put a new clutch in? ---

what happens if you put a new clutch in without doing anything with the flywheel? and assuming the flywheel has about 80000 miles on it ---

the flywheel will probably need resurfaced but just buy a new one if you can But to answer your question there quite easy im 17 and only know a little about mechanics and it only took for 3 and a half hours to put a clutch in my 98 civic. And it pays like 6 hours or something to do it at a garage ---

thanks…im going to replace the flywheel but I was just wondering if anyone can answer what happens if you don’t. cause i didn’t replace it when my dad put a new clutch in 10,000 miles ago and now its shot. I am not a retard when it comes to driving with a clutch, and i don’t know why it would only last 10,000 miles unless it has something to do with not doing anything with the flywheel ---

If I did it quick I bet I could install a clutch in my car in about an hour and a half. I have nothing in the way, no battery, intake, etc etc I just have to unbolt the tranny from the engine, remove the tranny mount and slip out and slip in. modular clutches ftw ---
