|---|---|
| RAC / FixMyCar typical replacement | about £670 RAC’s published typical figure, sourced from FixMyCar (July 2026, rounded). |
| RAC published range | £500–£1,500+ RAC says the price can sit anywhere in this band. A dual-mass flywheel or hydraulic work is extra. |
What that figure does not tell you
- Most of the bill is gearbox-removal labour, so ask what else will be inspected while it is open.
- A slipping clutch and a hydraulic or linkage fault are different jobs.
- Ask whether the flywheel is included, and get that in writing.
What to ask before authorising work
- What test or inspection distinguishes clutch wear from a hydraulic, linkage, mount or gearbox fault?
- Does the quote include the clutch kit, release bearing or slave cylinder, fluids, seals and VAT?
- How will the flywheel be assessed, and how will extra work be authorised?
- What parts and labour warranty applies?
Safety boundary
Do not road-test a suspected clutch fault. If gears cannot be selected or drive is unreliable, stop and arrange recovery. Clutch and gearbox removal requires professional lifting and support equipment.
How to compare estimates
Compare the same diagnosis, parts, labour, VAT, fluids, calibration, disposal and warranty scope. Do not choose a repair from a warning lamp or fault code alone.
