after 115,000 miles my clutch has started to slip :(

only in 3rd/4th and 5th at low revs but its anoying

anyone changed a clutch on a yaris before?

how much was the part and how much labour should i expect to pay?

any good after market clutches for the 1.3 sr?

[Yaris SR Kid]

Thats not bad my friends clutch went after 55k on his punto

If you paid full wack it would be £400 fitted

Get a decent aftermarket one (The lady on here with supercharged T sport has decent after market clutch)

Should be no more than £150 and fit it yourself buddy!

[sphinktar1988]

Clutch is pretty hard mate as you gota remove the gearbox! That means first moving all the crud above it to get to it then a crane to be able to support it while you work on it! not that easy then :P

[Chuck04]

Both earpl and Kimi have the Helix organic

[Yaris SR Kid]

I would rather inlist a knowledgeable friends help and fit it myself than get ripped off!

[Woody27]

who have you got that quote from??

there is a place on albert hill called ST Johns he use to be the main mechanic for Toyota untill he opened his own garage.

i use to take my IS200 there and always had no problem from him he has also done some work on my TS too.

drop me a message and i will give you his number

My clutch cost around £300 and that was trade price.

as for the fitting i had Ian one of the techy's at work [ who had never done one on a yaris before]

to do it, took less than 2 hours 30mins to do.

If it takes a normal garage 3 hours to do, should be less than £200 labour.

if i was you i'd go with a direct replacement clutch, you dont need a performance clutch

esp if you got the mileage you did out of yours.

[sphinktar1988]

i might go for the performance one as i drive the car a lot harder than the previous owners as they were OAP's lol

also gettin a few performance mods of the car manifold, exhaust, sports cat n id like to no i could abuse the clutch if needed lol

as with my clutch now if i so much as frown at the car it nacks up for a few days then stops slipping :S
