contact Chris (Amanda will give you his number)
He has his own garage and very cheap labor rate.

When I asked Orange about changing the clutch and the slave cylinder, their estimate:
$400 for parts
$600 for labor
You have to take the entire transaxle out, as well as hoist the engine. My dad refused.

Done a clutch job before, not on a cougar though. It's not that bad, but just takes forever having to remove everything before you do it...
I believe for the cougar the CSVT clutch has a high torque rating and it's cheaper to boot.
Oh yea, and you need alot of beer when you do it. :biggrin:

nother update... things seem pretty kosher now... it was bogging down (just noticably, doesnt throw you around or anything) in 5th gear when i punched it doing 70-75 this AM... but that might be normal now... idk.. anyone?
@tronic: i was all prepared to but i figured id feel it out this week since this past weekend it was pouring constantly and it was hard to really test drive the car the way i needed to... but its only 42$ so if i have to all i need it a pipe wrench to get it off.. that and everything else to remove the UIM (gotta replace a snapped bolt anyways)
