How much do shops normally charge for labor to replace a clutch for a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am? I normally replace clutches myself but my sister lives in Hollywood, CA so I cant do it.

 

75-110 dollars an hour at 8to10 hours to r-i clutch could be more or less

 

I'll get you the chiltons time and let you know how many hours they will charge

 

600-800$ with out parts

 

get a ebay clutch kit for 200 and then get them to install it for like... 600 thats probably going to be exactly around there what ur payin cuz i know grand am trannys can be a bitch sometimes

 

gotta drop the subframe and shit on it so.. alot

 

You dont have to drop the frame, The motor can be disconnected at the exhaust, TB, motor mounts and wiring harness, then it can be lifted out. The trans can be left in the car to replace the clutch. Wish it was local, I could help you out. Check ClupGP.com and see if anyone knows of W-body shops in the CA area. There should be one. They will probably do it around 400-600 including parts and have it done in 4-5 hours. If you find someone who knows these cars its not that difficult.

 

why pull the engine when you drop half the subframe out and be done with it?

 

hahahaha thats exactly what i was thinking

 

Not everyone has the tools to drop the subframe. I know I dont have a lift in my garage.
