Clutch throwout bearing

[Greg]

My throwout decided to start squealing now since my 97 GT has hit 180000 miles. It’s cold in Illinois anyone know how much this may cost to farm out?

might as well replace the clutch while you are at it. only use a ford t/o bearing. get the parts yourself and then just pay the labor to install. then you will know what it will cost you.

 

[ttocs]

your not going that deep just for the bearing. Most clutches come with their own TOB but I have heard to only use the ford racing for it myself.

No no, not Ford Racing, you want original Motorcraft. Ford Racing outsourced to some crap.

Most shops charge about $300 in labor for a normal clutch job. Maybe more, maybe less.

 

[SnakeBit!]

yea, I didn't mean ford racing when I said ford...ford oem...motorcraft.

No problem bud!

Well today I got two quotes. The first one $1100 to $900 difference was performance or standard clutch. The second quote was $600 from a transmision shop.

 

[SnakeBit!]

way high on that first one.

 

[g36 monkey]

If that is clutch, pressure plate, TOB and everything installed I don't think that's too bad actually.

With my torque arm and stuff I am sure doing a clutch is going to be a lot more fun now.

you should be able to get a decent clutch for $300 price range or less for a stock style clutch. if yours is a 10.5" these people are great to deal with and have good prices. they have one for $199. so that makes the 900-1200 mean like 700 to 1000 just for labor. too high.

Man I haven't bought a clutch in a long time, I must have forgot how cheap they are

The auto store 03-04 cobra equivalent is roughly $250 and usually come lifetime warranty. I like the warranty. Already used it once

 

[SnakeBit!]

no matter who you get it from, don't forget to get the ford oem t/0 bearing for it. don't use whatever is in the kit unless it is ford motorcraft.

I do not see mention of the flywheel. It may need replacement or resurfacing which could add $100-$400 to the job. Check the teeth on the ring gear while it is apart. This would come with a new flywheel.

 

[SnakeBit!]

true dat....hopefully whoever does the clutch would have done that.

The bearing you want has part number n1714sa and is the higher tolerance bearing.
The 1714 is the cheap one.

I know this is old BUT is that an SKS bearing?

Thanks looks like the n1714sa is a generic number as there are a lot of folks selling them including Rock Auto prices are all over the map from $25 to $77 (Napa) is there a difference? Who makes the good one like one mfg here in the states if any????
