Focus LX

  • Manual transmission
  • 75,000 miles

Clutch cost $1000. Parts on this car are expensive German parts and all parts, including flywheel had to be replaced. I have never replaced a clutch before $140,000 and I have driven manual cars all my life.

problem #1

2007Jun 21

(reported on)

Focus 4cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 78,000 miles

I was on a long trip down to mid-cal and the clutch started slipping! I was able to get it home and to the mechanic, and I figured I was gonna spend like $500... but no... the clutch alone was $900!!! They said it failed due to the transmission seal leaking onto the clutch so the seal also had to be replaced for a grand total of $1100. A three year old car should not be having the clutch replaced! I am the original owner, so I knew I still had the 100,000 mile warranty on it... but no... the clutch is a "wear and tear" part and not covered.
