Had it picked up and towed today. My mechanic put it up on the lift and get into it. Says I need to have clutch and slave cylinder replaced. He figures I am looking at about $1300 after all is said and done. Like I have recently read here - "It's always something"

It should NOT cost $1300. $200-$300 for the clutch. $150 for the slave. 3 hours work max. Even at $100 an hour, $750 max. You need to find a new mechanic or learn to do it yourself. It is not that hard to do.

Yeah, that's Canuk dollars so comparable. That's the price of rock star status in Belleville Jay :)

$1300, sheesh. Rebuilt my trans for that, and 90% of the rotating assembly was replaced.

Hope he is good mech. Best of luck.

That towing company any good? Not that I need to tow the old girl anytime soon but its a huge concern if I ever have to.

Of course , check the clutch oil , many a clutch repair on a Viper only needed a clutch fluid flush and refill.

$1300 Canadian = $971 US dollar.
Specialty speed shops usually charge $175/hr where I'm located. Niche industry. Personally I think $1300 "Canadian" is fair.
