clutch replacement 86 4x4 262/3spd
« on: June 28, 2016, 10:57:21 pm »
About how long to replace the clutch in this pick-up? The mechanic is working out of his garage, and told me that it is easier to remove the engine. What do you think? Thanks

It's about 7 hours labor including resurfacing the flywheel, new pilot bearing and bleeding the system. I would find a new mechanic.

thanks for your advice. I wondered about the wisdom of pulling the engine, as well. :)

That makes no sense at all. It is more labor, more fluids, more parts, unnecessary disturbance of the engine etc. Now if you needed additional engine work it may make sense but not if you're just having the clutch replaced.

Would make sense if you had a V8 to put in.
