No - it's considerably more then that. To do the clutch splines you must remove the transmission. Removing the transmission is a rather large job (and as others pointed out - easier to do with two people.. mostly because you can take it apart without as much disassembly..) It involved removing the wheel, rear-drive, shock mounts, rear brake, side-plates, battery, the starter, driveshaft and in your case they R&R'd the alternator (a good thing..)The K75 is back at home after the clutch spline lube. It is shifting much better than when it went in, overall I am pleased with the results, despite the fact that I did not get to see/participate in the effort.
I have a question for the experts, though. My conception of the work was to remove the rear wheel, drive shaft and then clean and lube the splines. Is the clutch cable removed from the clutch in this operation? They said that the clutch plate was removed and inspected during the work.
Looks like a reasonable list to me. The bushing for the clutch lever is cheap and a good thing to replace once in a while - the rubber bits are all nearing 20 years old and owe you nothing. I wouldn't dicker over that list of parts.The repair listed about $100 in parts. While the price of the parts strikes me as reasonable based on a comparison on the internet (not great, never lowest, but they had the parts and sold 'em to me). The question is whether some of these parts needed replacing.
The parts are:
1) 6 ea clutch star washer - no questions about this (21211242377)
2) 3 ea. Rubber Mount, Alternator (12311464877)
3) 1 ea. boot at clutch rod (23131338731)
4) 1 ea. Exhaust gasket - no questions about this (18121457142)
5) 2 ea. Clutch Lever bushing (32721232662)
6) 1 ea. Clutch Lever bushing washer (32721230871)
More for my education than anything else. Appreciate the help.
Thanks Don, appreciate your enlightenment. The question for for my education, no bone to pick with the shop. I just couldn't figure out why the clutch lever was being messed with, and the alternator. Sounds like two things I should be glad they did address.
The labor was $300, which I would assume is about 4 hours, for the Houston market. While I do not know how many people participated in the work, the labor is consistent with what the shop quoted before I brought it in.
