Flat Work Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 My clutch and brake are adjusted as far as they will go. Time for a new one soon. Truck's an '04 CX-613, AC-427, with a run-of-mill Eaton-Fuller 10spd. Just curious what you guys are paying for a straight up clutch job.

He told me 14 hours on labor.

ekennedy21 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 $2500 seems fair to me. He is close with his 14 hrs. In Massachusetts, figure $110/hr so $1540.00 plus parts which will probably be a little for the then clutch for then for an international 4900, because a 427 is putting out more torque then a dt466. That puts you at $2500. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51933-how-much-should-i-be-paying-for-a-clutch-job/#findComment-387224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather go with new.

Dirtymilkman Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Labor is that cheap on the east coast?!? In Mn here we are paying $130 an hour. It is ridiculous.

Ezrider Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 2500 is a good starting point. if your driving it or have a good driver in it and get 800k-1mill out of a clutch your probably looking at new input shaft cross shafts and bushings possibility linkages as well and a rear main while your in there is a good idea. if you have hired drivers that rip a clutch out every 2-400k you can probably get away without a lot of the extra's Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51933-how-much-should-i-be-paying-for-a-clutch-job/#findComment-387239 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 all depends whats on it to and how its mounted, Mack or Volvo with the mounts on the trans and having to jack up the engine, tack on another 3-4 hours. then if it needs a rear main or flywheel resurfaced, tack on a little more,, droppin or having t unhook a pto or hoses or linkage, tack on a little more. up here in upstate ny 2500 sounds fair Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51933-how-much-should-i-be-paying-for-a-clutch-job/#findComment-387252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
