I need a new clutch fitted to my k reg 2.5d lwb transit van, how much do you think it will cost me and how hard is it to do myself????

ive never tryed to fit a clutch before, but if its going to cost to much im going to have a crack at it myself as i cant waste too much money on it what with trying to get the sierra back on the road this year and keeping the escos on the road not much spare cash about

ps ive already got the new clutch

 

I paid £200 to get my last clutch fitted. That only included fitting as I supplied the clutch.

 

Depending on who you go to, your looking at about £300, the problem with fitting gearboxes on the side of the road is room and you will have to have the motor up of the floor to give you the clearence to get it off and out of the van (from underneath) we used to swap engines etc when we was a bit younger mainly mk1 escorts and 3 ltr capri's, we used to couple engine to gearbox when it was out of the car and then drop it in as one unit as this is a lot easier than trying to line up the clutch and wiggle the box on whilst lying under the car, end of the day it is a lot of arsing about if you can spend the money have someone do it for you, its a lot easier when the motor's on a ramp
