Jeep: Clutch Cost - 92 Wrangler

Do you intend to replace the clutch yourself? I have done it in my 89 4cyl
wrangler.. it is pretty straightforward.

Not really. I don't have the equipment or tools to do the job as this
jeep is a towed vehicle behind my motorhome.

Just trying to get a ball park for costs.

Thanks

Last friend that had it done paid $800. This is for a new clutch disc,
pressure plate, slave cylinder, and to re-surface the flywheel. It is
IMPERATIVE to replace the clutch slave when the trans is out.. you must
completely remove the trans to replace it.. it is best replaced with the
clutch. I learned this one the hard way.

The parts would be about 100 bucks if you did it yourself. There is not
need to resurface flywheel either unless it is badly damaged.

There is the need to resurface the flywheel. You can SOMETIMES get lucky,
but using an old surface on a flywheel, especially if the old disc was
slipping a lot, will result in clutch chatter on the new clutch. A high
quality clutch it is about $140, the new slave cylinder is about $120.

I disagree here completely. I have been doing clutchs for over 30 years
and unless the flywheel surface is damaged it is a was of time and
money. Just like people who think you are supposed to turn rotors and
brake drums with every brake job. At most I might take the lip out of a
drum if there is one and nothing more. Turning them removes metal and
make them (drums and rotors) more prone to warpage.
