Need a quick response - transmission work estimate. 2000 T/A, 55k miles.
My clutch pedal was sticking to the floor, and it would sometimes be hard to get it out of first and reverse. Figured it had to do with the slave/hydraulics.
I got a call back from Cottman Transmission, and they're telling me $1580 for a new slave and master cyl, clutch, pilot and release bearings, resurface the flywheel, and labor.
My extended warranty is only covering the slave cylinder, or $320 of it, which leaves me with about $1260 to pay for everything else.
Also, they're wanting to put a "Luke" clutch in. never heard of them.
That's a big chunk of change.

Slave should come with the release(throwout) bearing on it from GM. The pilot should be done as part of the slave swap. That leaves the clutch and resurfacing as your bill. The orig equip clutch is now a LUK.

Actually trying to help people was not company policy.
**** auto repair shops, and **** warranties.
now i'm going to be late on my car payment.
