cmichaelvincent Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I drive an 88 4x4 long bed w/ pukey tran. I bought an exedy clutch kit 5 months ago and the slave cylinder/TOB already crapped out on me. I'm strapped for time and I would like to avoid dropping my transmission without proper tools again, considering how miserable that experience was. Does anyone know what labor would cost for the replacement? I already have the part and have gotten online labor quotes at around $80-110. Does this seem accurate? Thanks for the help.

xjrev10 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Total guess, but I would say its at least a 8-10 hour job on the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichaelvincent Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I thought 80-110 seemed a bit low. 8-10 hours at New England labor pricing sounds like a considerable dent in my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I posted some time ago about you guys installing these crappy OReilly internals...........never learn I guess. I just talked to a guy locally last night who is selling his MJ and he told me he already installed two of these this year and it went out again........tells me to bring a trailer............screw it, he can keep it. You'll never learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years ago I asked when I was at the shop that does my emissions testing. I think their estimate was $600. That was just for labor.

I'll be happy to do them day after day for $600 and I'll include parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichaelvincent Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I posted some time ago about you guys installing these crappy OReilly internals...........never learn I guess. I was planning on doing a full AX-15 swap this summer and was hoping that the POS that I bought would be enough to limp back home in May. Obviously, I was wrong. I should have known, the instructions were in Chinese... As much as I don't like getting crappy parts, the internal slave/TOB assembly is so ridiculous that I can't justify spending more money than I have to on it. Edit: This time I bought a Dorman. Any info on how well they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichaelvincent Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Urgent update: I just replaced the TOB and the screeching noise hasn't gone away. I really want to break something. What did I miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
