Clutch Replacement done right
A clutch is a 6-8 hour job — getting it right matters. Verified workshops use genuine kits (Sachs, LuK, Valeo), replace the bearings while they're in there, and stand by the work.
What proper clutch service includes
Full clutch kit
Plate, cover, release (throw-out) bearing, pilot bearing — replace all four together. Only doing the plate is a recipe for redoing the job in 6 months.
Branded kits
Sachs, LuK, Valeo, Aisin — only OE-quality kits. Avoid 'eco' or unbranded clutches that fail in 30,000 km.
Flywheel inspection
If the flywheel is grooved or warped, surface or replace. Reusing a bad flywheel kills the new clutch.
Hydraulic system check
Master and slave cylinder seals fail with age. While the gearbox is out, this is the time to inspect and replace if needed.

What does it cost?
Hatchback / sedan: $400-800. SUV / luxury: $700-1,500. Performance / DCT cars: $2,000+. Includes parts and labour.
