Clutch Repair Shop, Tampa FL

[Charles]

I'm in the need for some minor repairs/adjustments to my clutch. Anyone
have suggestions for dependable shops in the Tampa area?

Thanks in advance.

there is a transmission shop near Hillsborough and Habana, between MacDill Ave
and Armenia. I live on MacDill. Even though I havent been there, they look
like dependable people. I forgot what the shop's name was...

Just buy a new clutch and put it in.
If you're not dying for some huge aftermarket
performance clutch etc. a regular clutch
which will do just fine, will cost you
around $150.

To put it in..

Disconnect the 8 bolts holding your driveshaft
in place. Have someone help you lock the
driveshaft into place to make it easier on you
to loosen & retighten the bolts later.

Then, all ya gotta do is disconnect the transmission
from the engine..I believe maybe 8 or so more bolts
and that thing will be sittin on your floor. Make sure you have
a jack with a wodden block standing under it, don't
need quite a tranny jack since you don't have a lift,
just have something under it that you can roll so you can support the
tranny.
Then just move the tranny out of the way, and your old
clutch will stare right at you.

Unbolt it, and also unbolt the flywheel.
Have the flywheel resurfaced!!!!!!
I say again...
RESURFACE the flywheel!!! :)
If you don't, its the same as
putting new brake pads onto
old disk rotors..it doesn't quite work out.

Then bolt the new clutch in, and you're set..
put the car back together..and drive:)

Expect the process to take ya about a day.
Maybe two since you have to take the flywheel
to a shop to have it resurfaced.

i bought my 95 GTS at the tampa Carmax almost two months ago. It needed a
clutch so they put it in for free. Since then, teh car has run smoothly with a
new stock replacement clutch. I would probably ask then for a quote on how
much they would charge you to put it in. You dont need to buy a car from there
to have it fixed there.
