Is this ok in this section or should it be in the mechanical section?

Release bearing on the way out... It'll get worse until it eventually fails.

Sure?, easy / cheap to fix?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Easy with the engine out of the car!

release bearing deffo. will get worse untill it colapses then gets stuck in gear. not sure on clio parts but probs a 50 or 60 quid part, if a garage does it, probs looking at a bill in excess of a grand with labour. Get the tool box and engine lift out

My release bearing has been making noise for years.

Need to seperate engine and gearbox to fix.

Great cant afford that and have zero mechanical knowledge.

You can't afford £60?

Realistically, there's no point in having this changed without the clutch, at all.

So:

Full three piece clutch kit (including release bearing) £130.

Fitting: Free if you can fit a clutch yourself (about a 5-7 hour job on the floor)

Total cost from a mechanic is between £500-800

Aye, labour should be nowhere near a grand.

I tell you what, you'd have to be going some to do it in your garage in 5 - 7 hours!
