Are you including the 20% discount you can get from Advance on weekends ordering online and pickup in store? Not an advertisement, just a thought that many people may appreciate.

 

No, Don. My cousin is a Store Manager for AZ and got me the new clutch kit for $243 out the door.

To put the icing on the cake, his local Formula Drift buddies are going to be at his place this coming Saturday and he told me to bring the HHR by and they would help me swap out all the parts in no time flat! I am going to do clutch kit, shocks/struts, stabilizer links(front), severe duty brake rotors, and Cmax pads, serpentine belt, and engine air filter, as well as the 'Balt SS/TC springs I have been hanging on to for a while. Woo. That was a lot of typing. Hopefully this all falls in to place as he mentioned!

I also get to see his custom car in the process. Ground up re-building a Toyota Supra for racing in Formula Drift. :)

 

I thought your hhr no longer was able to move ?

 

Getting a U-haul tow dolly and pulling it up to MI this coming weekend.

 

Tow carefully Kev, those dollies have a "Max Speed" label on them for a reason if it says 55mph.....that's the fastest you should go. Dollies have a nasty habit of trying to "steer" the tow vehicle.

Also stop frequently to check the tie down straps, they WILL loosen up on you, launching Stiglitz into oncoming traffic like a missile would just plain suck.

 

Well, just as I say that I will get it repaired for free, my cousin doesn't feel comfortable doing it after looking it up. Citing that it looks more difficult than he anticipated.

 

Bummer.. But him originally saying they would fix everything like a pit stop wasn't too realistic..

Ask him how much to do the work..Better still, find a reputable Chevy mechanic that has knowledge on this repair..

 

Meh. I trust him. But if he doesn't feel comfortable doing it, I am certainly not going to force him.

How am I going to find a Chevy Mech that will do it for less than dealership price?

 

Well, now the clutch is replaced and Stiglitz is feeling back to 100% in the clutch and exhaust dept. Still have to fix the serpentine belt at some point, and the front stabilizer bars.. When that will happen, who knows. Boss just told me I am leaving for Atlanta soon for a month or so. For those of you following the clutch portion of this, I have a couple of pix of the old clutch assembly.
