Clutch Replacement: DIY vs Mechanic?
Context: 2016 WRX Premium with ~69.5K miles clutch slipping
Parts Ordered:
- ACT HD Street clutch kit
- Versus Forged Clutch Fork
- Torque Solution billet clutch fork pivot
- Perrin Braided Stainless Clutch Line
- COBB Shifter Bushing
- OEM flywheel bolts and clutch bolts
- OEM Rear Main Seal
- Trans Axle Seals
- Trans Output oil seal
- Rear Diff Seals
So for the clutch change I am being quoted by my local mechanic roughly $1000-$1200 for labor (very reasonable in my opinion). I wanted to ask how difficult it actually is to do the work myself? While videos have made it seem like and intermediate to advanced, I wanted to hear some more input from the sub. More then willing to get a trans jack from harbor freight and other tools that might be needed.
I've never worked on a transmission before myself and don't have any friends that are knowledgeable to help (well friends in general but that is a separate issue lol)
