Clutch replacement costs roughly €400-900 with a conventional kit, rising to €900-1,800 if the dual-mass flywheel also has to be replaced. Labour weighs as much as the part, because the gearbox has to come off.

What the job includes

• Clutch kit: disc, pressure plate and release bearing, always replaced together
• Flywheel: assessed with the gearbox off; if it is a dual-mass unit with excessive play it must be replaced
• Hydraulic release bearing (where fitted): it is inside the bell housing, replacing it later would cost a second removal
• Labour: 4-8 hours depending on the model

Why it pays to decide everything together

The dominant cost is removing the gearbox. Postponing the replacement of the flywheel or release bearing to save money means paying the same labour twice a few months later.

How to make it last

• Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving
• Avoid starts with prolonged clutch slipping
• Do not keep the clutch pressed at traffic lights
• Repair any oil leaks from the engine or gearbox seals immediately

The figures given are indicative market ranges, useful as a guide: the actual cost depends on model, engine, chosen parts and labour hours. An exact quote requires the vehicle registration.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to replace the clutch?

Roughly €400-900 with a conventional kit; €900-1,800 if the dual-mass flywheel is also needed. Labour has a big impact because the gearbox has to come off.

Does the flywheel always have to be changed too?

Only if it is a dual-mass unit with play or noise. It should however be assessed on that occasion, because the removal is already done.

How long does a clutch last?

From about 60,000 km with intense urban use to over 200,000 km with relaxed, out-of-town driving.
