I'll bring it up when he gets/replaces the last engine mount (still waiting for 1 of 3).

Re: 1993 850 clutch replacement required/worth it?

I will probably learn to regret it, but I did go with the new clutch. It is driving fine now, and my mechanic said he charged me too little - $730 for parts and labor + tax. I guess I can believe him! Didn't do the oil leak - I think once the engine is warm it seals itself, and either way it's not l...

Re: 1993 850 clutch replacement required/worth it?

Just returned from the shop. The mechanic didn't find any leak on the cylinders. He bled the slave cylinder, but he didn't use any pump for pressure or vacuum. I was just assisting by pressing and lifting the clutch pedal to his instructions. It improved the situation somewhat, but his boss, after a...

Re: 1993 850 clutch replacement required/worth it?

Alright - I called my shop and will bring it tomorrow morning. I had them look at it a few weeks ago but they said that I should have gotten it replaced when I got the new transmission. They are probably right either way, but I guess they should have tried bleeding it right away then if that's all t...

1993 850 clutch replacement required/worth it?

The car has 155k miles, clutch had been replaced at 85k. I need to depress the clutch pedal all the way to the floor in order to engage the clutch. Little annoying when doing a lot of city driving, and I am not sure how smoothly our au pair is getting those gears in now... Oddly, though perhaps not ...

MadeInJapan, you were right. I switched mechanics in the past time because my old refused to do proper error elimination. Finally, I worked with the new mechanic on fixing this. One of the wires connecting the sensor was broken and interrupted the signal. However, the teeth on the axel where corrode...
