This mazda6 is a fucking pile and this clutch job has turned into a $1200 affair. Son of a whore.

Good Lord. I mean it's not too much more than you'd imagine, but what's the problem? Flywheel toast?

I know the guy you got it from is a friend and stuff, but, cant you go back to him and explain the situation? Try to get at least some of your money back...?

Starting to remind me of the time I bought a Subaru XT6 from a Russian who lived in the middle of a strawberry field. I put as much into repairs as I paid for the car. I ended up donating it to charity 2 years later and a lot broker.

As soon as I read that I knew you’d have trouble.

You can say you had an XT6 though, so that's pretty cool.

It flags at 8 hours and this car is a particular basket case so it took longer. Had to remove trans 4 times to shim the pivot point for the shift fork for... some reason. Also literally every other bolt rounded out (steel into aluminum) during the initial removal and a shitton of stuff had been cross threaded.

That car was awesome when it ran well.

Are you having this professionally done? I wouldn’t pay a shop extra hours for something they couldn’t align in the first 3 attempts.

He’s in texas. It wasn’t his fault, strictly speaking, anyways. While I was on my way down to buy it he let a friend borrow it to get somewhere. Friend claimed he could drive stick. Could not drive stick. Took friend a few minutes of driving after he got it back to realize the clutch was fried but by that point I was already in Dallas with no ride back (1 way trip down) and I figured, hey, clutches are easy. I’ll pay someone else to do it since it’s cold out. I did my Miata in 3 hours it’ll be fine.
And this thing just turned out to be a massive pile of shit. Tons of ghetto rigged crap you can’t see, cross threaded/wrong bolts/nuts, a bunch of coolant plastic elbows have broken, and for whatever reason after putting the clutch in the slave cylinder even at full extension did not touch the clutch fork (didn’t look to see how it was beforehand) and the trans had to be dropped FOUR MORE TIMES to get the correct amount of shims in the pivot so that the clutch actually functions. So that was like another 6 hours of labor.

It’s a total unknown. This is not something that is supposed to be done, nowhere in the service manual does it make any mention of having to shim it so they had to fly by the seat of their pants
