Good places to get clutch changed?
Good places to get clutch changed?
The clutch in my 02 Acura RSX is going out, and I need it replaced. Called a place on Clinton Hwy, and they said they have to go for a ride with me before they can give me a price. I'm going to buy a clutch from the internet, but need someone to install it for me. Any suggestions?

That (needing to go for a ride before pricing) is the dumbest thing I've heard this week so far. The labor to replace it will be the same regardless of how far gone it is.r3vo wrote:The clutch in my 02 Acura RSX is going out, and I need it replaced.

I'd shop that around a bit. There are plenty of Honda specialist places around aside from dealers, or you might holler at EAG or another comparable performance shop locally. The best Honda/Acura tech I know is in Asheland City, TN (outside Nashville), but that may be a little bit of a drive (if you don't mind taking a weekend though, I'll give you his info).

If you want Honda-specific, try Dennis Hall.

It doesn't have to be honda specific, I just want my clutch fixed.

Re: Good places to get clutch changed?
I imagine you'd also want it done correctly Hence the brand-specific recommendation.r3vo wrote:It doesn't have to be honda specific, I just want my clutch fixed.

Dennis Hall has a good rep and their prices seem to be relatively fair. I've sent several co-workers there and no complaints (to me, at least).

I'll also recommend Dennis Hall. I used him for work when I lived up that way.

X3 on Dennis Hall. He is absolutely one of the nicest people I have ever met. They also work on all makes and models now, not just Honda. It's Dennis Halls Auto Service, 221 Sherway Dr. 690-1151. They are currently fixing my Lightning.
Re: Good places to get clutch changed?
Alright, ill give him a call tomorrow.

Dennis is a good guy and I am saying that not just because I am doing some non-work related legal work right now. He used to race motorcycles with Stan Hinds if you can think that far back.
