I’m beginning to think if my 09 manual needs a clutch job I’d be better off selling it or buying another based on the prices I see people are paying at dealerships?!!

 

Depends on what mileage and condition your Fit is. I'd find an independent garage who knows Hondas and ask for quote.

 

Rock Auto has an Exedy clutch kit for $160. Add in a flywheel for another $100. Then if you are not up for DIY a shop local to you shouldn't charge too much. I had a shop put in a clutch and flywheel on my STI for around $850 in labor.

I would definitely get a quote from an independent shop near you. Ask to buy the parts yourself and give them to them to install. Or let them order them if they can get a better deal.

 

And do the throwout bearing at the same time!

 

@cbuck77 @Frenzal Really need a complete parts list for this job before making the first move. The list should include 1) all clutch replacement parts and 2) While-You're-In-There-Do-This parts. I'm thinking that if an independent shop gets into the job, and discovers that they need a part that you have left out, they will stick in whatever they have, following the "Hey, Bob, this looks like it might work" rule.

But I'm anal and paranoid, so you can't go by me.


@Aghily I would not sell a car just because it needed a clutch. Especially not a GE Fit. Manual transmission cars are hard to find.
