2002 SE Man Tran Adjust/Replace??

jordandw · #1 (**permalink**) 05-25-2006, 10:30 AM

My 2002 Camry SE 2.4L manual transmission at ~90K mis is experiencing clutch slippage. Is it possible to adjust to get further wear on this clutch, or is it time to bite the bullet and go for replacement? If so, what's a fair price range for that job?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Take it to a transmission shop and let them check it out... A dealer will kill you on the price...

If you have a hydraulic clutch, usually there's no adjustment possible. 90,000 miles isnt a bad life for a clutch, but maybe its time to just change it.
$300 or 400 i think you will find to be a lowball estimate from a shop.
I priced the parts for someone else and the pressure plate, disc and release bearing were all about $200 from napaonline.com, which is about average. If you were to do it yourself you would save more than half the cost of a shop and i'd figure a full day or two to pull the trans and change the clutch parts.
