3b clutch source

[mac]

Hello all,

First visit here, feels pretty comfy. Looks like tons to learn. I'll start with a question. I'm looking for the best source for a clutch kit for a 3B, 82 bj60. My parts guy quoted $380 + $20 for flywheel machining. How's that compare? Any thoughts? Thx.

Cheers,

Mac

I've had my clutch remanufactured. Took the old pressure plate and clutch disk into the remanufacturers and for $150 the pressure plate was resurfaced and the clutch disk relined. You'd still need to redo the flywheel on your own.
If the $380 + 20 includes labour to install go there RIGHT NOW.

Thats a jobber type price on a clutch, pressure plate, idler bearing, througout bearing.

Yep that's a jobber price. How's it stack up? Clutch is a dynapack I believe. Anyone in Vancouver do clutch resurfacing? Thx.

The place I went to is just off Clark Drive around 4th Ave or so. It's called Gordon Rae Clutch Rebuilders.

In Vancouver look up DV Aldous. They do really nice rebuilds and balance the clutch on the flywheel. ( So its really smooth at those high rpms )

DV Aldous is awesome. I forgot about them. I've had shoes re-lined and bought other brake parts from them. My dad has dealt with the same lady there since the early 1960's. Thanks for the reminder about their clutch work.
