suspenceful Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Anyone here want to do it for me? It's too damn cold out and I'd rather pay someone else to get it done. The car is my daily right now so it needs to be done in a timely manner. 1996 328is that is rusty as hell with a ton of miles. I already have a low-mileage clutch/flywheel to throw in. Looking to drop it off and pick it up finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 If I were to bring this to a shop, about how much labor time do you think it should take them on average? Also, what's the average hourly shop rate these days? I never take my car in and usually do the work myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Can't milk it through untill it's warmer out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Can't milk it through untill it's warmer out? I've been milking it for over a year now. I initially thought it was a leaky main seal or something because it would come and go, but not it slips in every gear at the blip of the throttle. I don't want to be stranded somewhere and have to pay to get it towed. Ready to get a new clutch, weld the diff, and go rage drifting!!!

white96850turbo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I just replaced the clutch in my e36 328 this past fall and it took a full weekend, your best off to just man up and get it done / save the money. Only suggestion is to have everything on hand you may need, and you may get it done in one day (make sure to have new bell housing to engine bolts, flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts, rear main seal, hand torch / Mapp gas, throw out bearing, external torx sockets, ect...). It also helps having an extra person to muscle the transmission back into place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
