Clutch gone :(

[Makam pete]

Car broke yesterday....clutch went spongy and no gears. Not a happy bunny ive done search on here and most people have said its slave cylinder n clutch and around £400+ to sort. Car going off road till get money as skint lol. Sometimes feel like breaking it for spares as worth more. Doing head right in.
Ok moan over

Ive just bought a 3pc luk clutch kit for 130. Already bought a flywheel a while back just need it fitted. Dont think it will be 400+ just for clutch replaced

£400 isn't bad actually! I've seen £700 before!

DMF=Duel mass flywheel.
If the slave cylinder has gone then you don't need to replace the clutch itself, just the slave cylinder. Problem is that you need to remove the gearbox to replace it, so if your clutch is quite near to needing replacing then you might as well do that at the same time, as the major cost is the labour of removing the box to do it. If you're handy with a spanner then you can remove the box yourself (i did mine, not too hard, about a days work) and just pay for the slave cylinder.
DMF's wear out and most people change them when replacing the clutch for the same reason, labour costs, but if yours is in good condition and you're skint then you don't have replace it.

Thanks Matty think slave cylinder as clutch pedal going in n out but been slipping lately so prob get clutcj done. How much is a dmf?

Nw's mate. Usually if the slave has gone the pedal just stays on the floor, but if the clutch has been slipping as well then you might as well do the lot, clutch,dmf and slave cylinder. You should check the master cylinder for leaks too, as it could be that causing the sponginess of the pedal.
I think from memory a standard DMF is around the £200 mark, but some people offer a clutch kit that contains the lot and saves money. I'm sure someone else will have a recent price on a kit here for you. Have a look here for a rough idea of whats about http://www.jbsautodesigns.co.uk/ or try GFS car parts etc if you just want standard replacements.

Thanks mate I did that this morning and a few options plus 3 different clutch kits from Luk with different part numbers so confused again which one is for my car

Stick with the DMF if you can,

Just make sure you get a deffinate diagnosis before you go spending the cash.

Standard clutch is ok for stage 1.
My DMF was ok so never replaced it, just the clutch and slave.
