As if I'm giving a labor estimate. I have never paid a person to work on my car unless someone else's insurance paid for it or if it was WAY to much of a bitch, and I mean A BITCH. Hell I've taken an engine out of a geo metro and replaced the clutch rather than pay someone to do it, that's commitment.

Dogar a Geo Metro has all of 3 cylinders. You could deadlift that engine.

You have no idea how much of a bitch it is to take that engine out and put it back in. Would have costed probably around 1,500+ with parts and labor. Did it for 300, a weekend and a case of beer.
The worse part is that models engine doesn't drop, you have to lift it out. If you ever worked on a real car and not those crotch rockets you'd understand. haha
Dogar what engine made in the past 30 years drops out? They *all* lift out, and you do so with the tranny attached. Most of it is under the hood work. Plus as I said that's a light engine. The thing that gets me is why you pulled the engine to replace the clutch.

Again, you don't work on real motor vehicles so you have no idea how difficult it is to work on one. Yes it IS possible to replace the clutch without taking the engine out, that is, if you are some sort of magical wizard. (By the way guys I'm not a magical wizard.) It is easier to take the engine out then not. (Even auto body shops know that and that is why they charge what they do.) The bitch was putting it back in and aligning everything, God that took 3 fucking hours.
You get a floor jack and a block of wood if you don't wanna shell out for a tranny jack. And if it doesn't wanna cooperate you get under there and bench the son of a bitch in like a man.

The seat on my bike vibrates, especially on the freeway.

Those pensions ain't gonna pay themselves.
And it's just an old Ninja 250. IDK why Dogar thinks it's a crotch rocket. Then again his car is dwarfed by Miatas.

Not like the parts are made in America though, hell a lot aren't even made in Japan anymore. It's just cheep Chinese garbage. Taiwan too. Rubber tubing from most of Asia is shit and you have to replace it every two years if you are unlucky enough to get fucked over by Pep-Boys.
no idea why it is but it's a known fact most american car parts are more expensive. or from what I noticed. would have rather kept driving that mazda protege but not I have that cavaliar..
thinking of getting a mustang gt but I feel like I'd look like a douchebag.
