here is a funny thing that i never research even if i managed a lot of different casas out there from korean, japanese, and european vehicles.

we always replace everything clutch disk release bearing and pressure plate.


this way no hassle for us to just replace 1 part and if there is a back job we wont need to replace the others.

so if a customer comes with sliding clutch and our technicians sentence it as replace clutch disk due to wear. everything is replaced.

we do it so that we wont have a back job and have to remove the transmission again.

Do others out there just replace the worn part? Just the clutch disk and not the whole clutch assy?

in my case for my ertiga, the casa told me to replace the clutch release bearing OEM for P8,844. nagtaka ako kasi ang daling nasira ng clutch release bearing na 14K+ milleage in two years di pa naman masyadong nagagamit yung sasakyan ko. i'm not sure if this is overpriced? bigla nalang nawalan ng resistance yung clutch pedal at di na pumapasok yung gears. tapos pag park ko may nakita akong tagas ng fluid.yung brake fluid reservoir nagka roon na rin ng bawas kasi isa lang pala source ng fluid nya.naka pull down ang transmission na ngayon ang kotse ko. tanong ko lang kung saan makabili ng medyo murang clutch release bearing at ano yung recommended brand?

[dr. d]

i wouldn't scrimp on the release bearing. i'd buy the "better and probably more expensive" brand. i usually ask the counter guy, which is mas matibay, even if it is more expensive.
the cost of labor in replacing the bearing, is sometimes more than the cost of the bearing itself.

and if have/want to relace the entire clutch assembly, if the car were a non-japanese car, i would ask the store if they have the japanese equivalent. that is what i buy. it is probably more expensive, but "mas suave ang pidal" afterward.
my experience.

[anthon05]

In my experience on our delivery vans, the entire clutch assembly should be replaced. There was a time where we just replaced the release bearing
after some time, just a year we have to open the transmission to replace the pressure plate. so lesson learned replace the entire clutch system.
clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing and pilot bearing. check clutch operating/secondary and clutch master for leaks. You can use made in japan replacement, I think the best is Aisin, also used for OEM.
What we usually use is Exedy for its accessibility from our supplier.

I think with the ertiga its unusual, ang bilis naman masira ng release bearing, sa mga L300 usually abot ng 100k km bago masira sometimes more pa. alam mo naman paano gumamit ang delivery.

gamit naming release bearing basta made in japan. NTN, Koyo I don't remember the other brands but tumatagal na siya as long as the disc.

1. Any sign or symptoms on when to replace clutch?
Sliding into 5th gear, premature wear, sign that may need replacing within a week. Sliding on 4th or 3rd gear, buys those parts and hope it won't damage the flywheel. For manual trannys, while the engine is running at stand still (not the vehicle), engage in top most gear (4th or 5th), slowly release clutch pedal, if engine did not stall, time to replace.

2. What basic parts do I need to replace? How much?
Clutch disc, release bearing, pilot bearing/sleeve, pressure plate. Prices differ for each make & model.

3. To maximize cost put in labor, any other thing to replace or checked?
Flywheel damage from rivets, oil seal, transmission links if equipped, park brake lining and tension if equipped with parkbrake after tranny assembly.

1. May shudder when coming from a dead stop. You can put it in fifth gear while stopped, release the clutch and engine won't die.
2. Clutch disc. Good idea to get a new pressure plate, release bearing while you're at it.
3. See above
4. Centerforce, then there's this other Japanese company I can't recall right now. Personally, you can't go wrong with OEM.

btw a squeaking sound in the clutch pedal, plus, sometimes total loss of clutch pedal resistance (e.g. the clutch pedal drops to the floor, no resistance, and can't change gears anymore) what is this? happened to me 3 times now. Pretty annoying/unnerving. But the clutch pedal worked itself back up within a few minutes, and I went on with my driving..

4. Daiken/Exedy

Yup, this brand does OEM also for some Jap cars from what i know.
ASCO is also okay when i tried it on our Corolla (but this was with a torqueless 1.3L engine)...

[speedyfix]

fcc, asco, daiken, etc are all ok naman.

replace everything pati oil seals so no need for work to be done again next time.

[Ningaskugon]

Additional question: any cost estimates? I know it varies from car to car but does anybody know the range of cost?

[speedyfix]

from 5-10k for everything depending on the car.

syempre, 4x4's are more expensive kasi parts are generally sturdier and labor will be more.

I have a 2000 Honda Civic A/T. I took it to a auto transmission shop and was told it was a sliding clutch problem. The shop owner said I would have to get a clutch rebuilding kit. He gave me the following quotation:

P9,000 - clutch rebuilding kit
P8,500 - labor
P4,500 - ATF
5 years warranty

Are the prices reasonable or am I being overcharged?

Thanks.

be very very careful of the asbestos dust when your clutch is replaced. asbestos fibers can be airborn for three days. proper engineering procedure can minimize your exposure. even if you're not the one doing the job, it is your car and that there is a possibility of the asbestos dust in your car.


how i do it to protect myself and the customer:

i pop the clutch fork boot (non peugeot type clutch) and squirt about half a cup of liquid dishwashing liquid inside the bell housing. then, with a large catch pan under the transmission/transaxle,run the engine and run water using a garden hose through the clutch shift fork boot until the rinse water stops foaming and runs clear. the contaminated water that had been collected dispose in the sewer or in the septic tank. once the rinsing is done, you are safe to go ahead with the clutch job. if the "mechanic" insists that he had been doing this for a long time and that the procedure is unnecessary, think about your health even if he is not concerned about his.
