My girlfriend's cousin's first gen miata's clutch just went out.

1. how much does a mazda dealer charge, parts and labor?
2. how much would a mazda independent charge?

i'm debating if i can do it myself...pending these questions:
1. how much does a miata transmission weigh?
2. are there any specialty tools needed to do the job on jackstands in a apartment garage?

thanks!

 

Tell me you are not taking it to the stealership :slap: They are going to rape you for twice the price of an outside mechanic and do the same job.

Do it yourself ftw

 

now answer his other question of other tools
check google for DIYs

 

its not my own car, i dont give a shit about getting ripped off. please just answer the questions.

 

this is something u will have to
a. go to a miata forum
or
2. go to a dealership/ind. shop and ask

 

Why not just buy a Haynes manual for the Miata and have no questions left to answer?

:duh:

i was hoping for a post from you, thanks. i figured you'd be the only one with a straight answer instead of the useless info above.

 

o im sorry for telling u to search google for ur answer, instead of having u be a lazy ass h:

 

its okay. i searched google before i posted here. i wanted first hand experience from anyone one lurking the ha.net basement but i figured i'd get some useless responses before i'd get the answer i was looking for.
