Re: $600+ for a new clutch!!!

Well, look at this way.

$600 for a clucth, and you shouldn't have to replace the clutch again for sometime.

$600 for a down payment, then you have 48 to 60 monthly payments.

I will soon have to have transimission work done on my truck, which I am still making payments on. I am getting hit from both sides.

I think you got a pretty good deal. In 1992, I had to replace a clutch. It cost $900 plus $250 for the tow down the mountain. Wish I had had your mechanic.

Mrs Chambers

I understand your pain! We had both cars break down in one day last July. I can't remember the exact dollar amounts but it was over $2k that we need to pay out.

If you have an emergency fund, that is what it is there for. The $600 may be a good investment to have your car last for another few years.
