If it needs a flywheel, another $300-400? more. I would highly recommend against going to a dealer for any repairs. Their mechanics get paid per job, so tend to rush and do lousy work (I've worked for dealers before). And they typically charge more.

And yeah, to check for slipping find a hill (THE hill in Montreal? Mont Royal maybe ) get it in 3rd or 4th and floor it. Higher gear the better. If the engine rpms rise, and the vehicle speedo does not, you are slipping. Other indications are that the clutch engagement point in the pedal is very high.

Cheers.

Totally agree about the clutch but to say we do a shit job cos we are on flat rate now that is funny.
Go for it take it to an independent shop and we will see u back fixing there fukups lol
Ppl think they save money but honestly they don't who do u trust someone that knows ur car inside out or a Joe blow looking up Google lmao.
Just my 2 cents on this... U get what u pay for its why I drive a Toyota 😁
