no idea tbh he just said i need a new clutch kit and rang for a price which was over 200 and with vat and fitting was 400, also said he would fit it at the roadside

 

just asked the mechanic and its the pressure plate x

 

Something doesn't seem right here...

 

hello goggs, what do you mean please x

 

EuroCarParts have Transmech complete clutch kits at £136.80 including vat or a Sachs kit for £206.40 including vat. Kits include pressure plate, release bearing and friction plate. I believe the work can be completed by a good mechanic (in a well equiped garage) in 6 hours.

 

hi alan, i have checked eurocar parts and unfortunately said t didnt have any parts for clutch for my vehicle, i also ut my reg in x

 

it is possible it's the pressure plate, but changing it at the side of the road is not something I'd fancy doing.

Regards
Richard

 

If any mechanic worth his salt was changing the pressure plate, they would also replace the friction plate and release bearing at the same time.

Edit: @snowprincess. Sorry, I'd priced for a 2004 model, I only just realised yours is earlier.

 

your problem is pressure plate, but you need to disassemble all the clutch to change it, when doing this work we change all the clutch kit, besides i believe that you cannot buy only the pressure plate because of what i have said (clutch disassemble), this is a 5 to 6 hours work but if you have some kind of lift will be much more easy to do.
3 years ago i changed one chrysler 2.5 diesel 1999 clutch kit and i paied 250 euros for it, i believe i bought it in ebay.

 

managed to get a recon from a chrysler part dealer on internet, 90 days warranty at cost of £90 so hopefully get me through christmas x just hope mechanic is not too long at fitting it now x
