| 490536 | 2006-10-11 04:14:00 | it sounded like you werent the mechanical DIY type, good on you for doing it the MUCH cheaper way - i'd do the same I am, but only because I have people around me who help me do the work and in the process teach me to do it myself next time. I couldn't quite do the clutch all myself but I have the help I need. I'm only 16 so I can't really afford much in the way of mechanic labour. I am about to pay a mechanic to do my lower suspension arm though. When I said I could pay I meant mainly parts. |

| 490537 | 2006-10-11 04:26:00 | yeah i'm in pretty much the same situation, except if i did pay a mechanic to do it i would be paying mates/family rates. that reminds me, i've got to go tension my roadbike chain..... then rebuild my dirtbike engine lol (i've NEARLY got all the bits together, just need a middle ring... anyone got one (or two)?) is your civic worth paying for a new clutch/whatever is broken or would it be better to just pass it on again? |

| 490538 | 2006-10-11 05:20:00 | Well, it cost me $2500, mostly because it was in PERFECT condition. Two people have 'bumped' me since then, which will have significantly reduced the value, so I would rather not 'pass it on'. It's not an important enough issue anyway. | george12 (7) | ||
| 490539 | 2006-10-11 05:35:00 | It's not an important enough issue anyway. what isnt? you should hope whatever is broken isn't major lol what did surferjoe's test reveal? it does sound like it could be dodgy engine mounts... |

| 490540 | 2006-10-12 07:42:00 | I'm more inclined to work out what's wrong and head to the wreckersGetting another one from the wreckers? Bad idea: 1. All will have been used, and you will have no idea what condition they will be in; 2. Most of their cars are crash damaged anyway, so large internal parts like engines and gearboxes will have to be thoroughly checked anyway. Get a new one. That is, after you have had it checked out and the clutch is shown to be faulty. Good on you for wanting to do it yourself, but make sure your mates know what the hell they are doing. Or you'll be buying a new clutch before you can say 'but my mate said it would be right..." Phone around for a good deal, or try http://nzhondas.com/ to see if anyone there works at a honda dealership- they may be able to get you one at a good price. Good luck with the repairs. |
