- However, Martin did say that his clutch has only 5k km on it. That's
- pretty new, and is probably very unworn. Especially if it was removed
- from a car that was wreched, not one that the box or the clutch or
- something went on. And even if he only gets a year or two off it,
- $100's not a very high price to pay. I agree that Martin should take
- his used clutch to a parts store and compare its condition, but he
- seems to be getting offered a great deal (that's cheap labor for a
- Toyota, at least, and I remember my old Civic labor being out of
- control!)(no puns!).
- My best advice would be for Martin to
-
- A- check the clutch wear
- B- get in touch with the Honda user group for advice. Those
- people know a lot about what is going on with Hondas.
- C- make sure the deal for 100 is solid.
