$650 these days sounds pretty darn good to me!! My father had a 2005 altima, they wanted $3300 on a transmission swap on an old cheap transmission. Totalled the car
If you got out of any shop today for less than $1000, consider yourself very lucky
Slave cylinder on the vet plus labor is going to be about 1200.
But everyone says manuals never fail compared to automatics
Since you have a lift in the shop why don't you do the repairs yourself? A clutch job is cake.
That truck specifies Dexron II or Mercon ATF in it's manual gear box and my experience when syncros are worn and grinding is a thicker fluid will stop it for a long time. Gear oil would most likely make it not shift when cool but I've found 30Wish motor oil works great.
The Corvette will definitely be higher due to the Corvette tax.
It doesn’t help it wasn’t maintained, at least for the fluid
Higher cost on the Chevy…it’s a Corvette.
I think you should get in the habit of power shifting the power stroke. A few pumps of the throttle when you shift helps the grear slot in.
I thought the Colorado was broken lol
Wait. Did you just say he gave you a deal on labor and it’s $180 an hour 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. Man I wish I lived out in Colorado. I would love to work on rot free vehicles. And I wouldn’t charge even half that for labor.
Great video Andre! Thanks for leaving your entry to the 'Vette on the trailer. Glad you know trucks. Your gymnastics talent is as woeful as mine. LOL
Seems like a bad idea not to address the synchro while the truck was in the shop already.
So Andre…..Does that 13 MPG while towing include using Cruise Control. 😆
I have been there with the corvette, I did a cam and heads install and the clutch slightly slipping with the added power sends heat into the slave cylinder. I was constantly shoving my foot under the clutch pedal and pumping it to get my clutch back. No amount of exchanging the black clutch fluid helped and ultimately it needed a new clutch and slave.
Buzzword boy broke the C6
I think you will spend a fair amount more on the Corvette. While you guys are in there and with the way you drive you might want to invest in something a little upgraded from stock. You do beat on it pretty good. Also make sure you take it easy for a while after you get it back for the break in period so you don't grenade it a.s.a.p.
My guess is that you (errr Roman) will spend MORE than $650 to get the Corvette back on the road…
It will be about the same price. Slave cylinder bad
Vette should be double. They need to remove the torque tube. Bigger job.
That's a clutch master cylinder failure. Manual C6's were notorious for this (GM used a cheap master cylinder that could fail quickly – I had one go out at ~10k miles on a '13 427), but it's an easy fix in your own driveway if you have a little know-how. GM upgraded the master cylinder for these toward the end of the run and they are readily available.
Always blame the car not the driver.🤣😂🤣😂
More…$650 decent price on clutch work for the Ford…but that Vette will probably need a master…
Corvette will be cheaper to repair
11 mpg oof on towing oof
Your going to spend more $$$$
On C5/C6 Corvette, you need to frequently replace the transmission fluid in the reservoir. I'm fine the fluid in the reservoir cycles through the system and reduces the amount of contaminants causing that problem. If you replace the fluid with a high quality DOT4 fluid every other fuel refill, the problem will disappear.
Lower the corvette repair, saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Can't wait for the retry of the Ike with the obs ✊️
Corvette will cost more. I mean it’s a Corvette.
Just saying…that cost for the new master/slave etc seems way out of line. I just replaced the entire clutch/slave/master on my NV4500 and brand new clutch hydraulics from rock auto was around $180 shipped (Included a new clutch pedal to master linkage) and it took maybe an hour or so for me to install it using a couple YT videos as reference. For simple repairs y’all should really consider a DIY approach. Could have saved y’all around $500 potentially.
Definitely higher on the Vette repair costs.
Has the trans fluid in the F250 been checked or serviced?
Higher
And towing is why you don’t go with the ZR2/AT4X, you would have been over the tow limit. Nice to see the Colorado doing some towing.
