Clutch change, How long. was created by wanderinstar
Has anyone had a garage do a clutch change in an 02 Jimny?
If so how many hours labour did they charge for.
There was a time not so long ago that I would not have dreamed of putting a car into a garage for such a mundane job. But health issues have taken over, sadly.

ive never taken a vehicle to a garage so not sure how many hours they charge for changing a clutch but if they do charge for a full day 7-8 hours they are either not very good at there job or ripping you off a mechanic with a fully equiped garage with lifts should be able to do the job in no more than 3 hours
if you got to take it to a garage you be best taking it to a specialist clutch garage

I replaced a gearbox and clutch on my jimny in 5 hours in the pouring rain with the front wheels up on wheel ramps and I've never fitted a gearbox in a jimny before.

Took me about 5 hours too.
No idea how long a garage would take. To be honest if its an agreed price that your happy with, then it doesnt matter unless ur nuts enough to wait while its done!

I am half way through mine (clutch now removed) and I am very new to the mechanics game and upto about 4hours now. I did follow Martins guide and removed the transfer box, exhaust front pipe, front 2 propshafts and eased back starter the motor (dont know if all that is strictly necessary though )
On a slightly different note I burnt the clutch out offroading and it stunk! Infact I just got it home. The confusing thing is that when I removed it I expected the friction plate to be down to the rivets, but it wasn't
It was very shiny though and had some deep gouges in it. Does this sound right.
Please see pics: any advice appreciated guys.

I do know if it's a G13BB engine you don't need to remove the transfer box so that save you about 45 mins.

Well to tell you all about fitting a clutch in a jimny is like making toast I say this because I fit gearboxes and clutches for a living I can do a jimny clutch box out and back in with in an hour and yes if you took it to a garage they would charge you by the hour or give you a fix price for the job if your paying more than, lets say £350 that's on the high side kk

Bloody hell guys, 7-8 hours!
The BOOK time for changing clutch plate,cover and release bearing is only 2.70 hours. even doing the job on axle stands you can get the box out in an hour.
If they charge you any more then 4 hours i would query it or better still when you drop the car off at the garage just highlight the fact that you are aware of the book time only being 2.70 hours.
