| Description of the problem | The clutch started slipping with only 16,500 miles on it. I took it to the dealer in january 2006 to have the clutch replaced. They told me i was at fault due to my driving habits. They offered me a discount on the parts. The dealer was going to use exact replacement parts but from what i found out about the clutch i provided on my own after market parts that cost $ 478. 56 dollars and the dealer charged $870. 00 for labor. *jb |
