Brand new timing kit from Extreme PSI - 300$
Water Pump - 40$
Front Motor Mount - 30$
New Front Seals - ?
Oil Change - 25$
New o2 Sensor cause mine fell off my car while i was driving -_- - ?

Also going to have them check out the clutch, which feels soft, and the suspension, because I bought it lowered 2" on stock struts -_-

Hoping the clutch is just in need of new seals, because a 97-98 front bumper sounds better than a new clutch ;) and I plan on buying a 1.5 kokico kit off ebay for 400$ (struts and springs).

Thats the agenda for now, hoping to have her back on the road with all of the above done within a month or so. Then comes evo 8 rims, painted bronze, and a high rise 97-98 spoiler. /sigh... i fking love my car :)

Where I put "?'s" in the above list, its because I dont know how much the shops going to charge me. Anyone have any idea or have recently gotten these things done? Also idk how much the work is for the motor mount, the 30$ mentioned was for the part only.

P.S. - theyre doing the timing/wp kit for 300$ labor
 
0_o How an o2 sensor just falls off I have no idea.. Most people cant even break them loose with a breaker bar.

idk how either, I heard it dragging under my car and pulled over to see half of the little plug missing :(

And the seals appear to be good, but it looks like ill need a new clutch sooner than later :/

What seals? Clutch seals? Cause there is no such thing. Is you're mechanic trying to #### you?
 
Whoa! Should I check my clutch seals too? I did the recommended procedure to check blinker fluid,, and been looking for the boost fluid reservoir(cant find it??),, but now im paranoid about my clutch seals! Whats a symptom if they are going bad?!

I look for these things in the chrysler factory service manual, and NOTHING. How could the factory miss these critical service points?!

No such thing as clutch seals.
Blinker fluid... cmon man.... seriously.
Boost fluid HAHAHAHAHA
 
I thought I had made it obvious that my post was meant as sarcasm. Do I actually have to explain that? Thank you for pointing out the non existense of those service points. We are truly blessed with your blunt wisdom.

OH HAR HAR HAR U GUYZ R 2 FUNE

Not seals.
/facepalm

I meant cylinders, no seals...

idk why I put seals.
 
So by saying clutch cylinders do you mean clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder? I'm just trying to figure out the mis communication that has been put out there.

Well seeing how your pretty new...
 
Or are you talking about your piston rings or head gasket?

I fear for you car.
 
Actually blinker fluid is real. I found a picture of a time I was leaking blinker fluid, you can see in the picture it's leaking from the headlight.

If someone said clutch seals to me, I would immediately think of the seals in the master, and slave cylinders. They do have seals in there; why is everyone so confused by that? You guys must not know much about cars.

Ps. Boost fluid was a real thing too by the way. They called it turbo rocket fluid.

Why is everyone confused? It can be broken down mathematically, since the english language abandoned this thread 10 posts ago. Read on:

In response, Eagle96Talon clarifies his position:

OH HAR HAR HAR U GUYZ R 2 FUNE

Not seals.

He then proceeds to re-clarify his position once again to rlacasse1 in the same post with a new variation:

I meant cylinders, no seals...

idk why I put seals.
The facts:

He really means cylinders, not seals, hes not playing around, he said it twice damnit! :)

He has 0 clutch seals on hand.

So Clutch - Seals = Clutch

He needs cylinders, so add the cylinders:

Clutch + Cylinders = Clutch Cylinders

He needs new clutch and master cylinders. At least I think. There is really no way to be positive. At this point, he might need spark plugs for all I know.
 
You guys are all way too cool for me.

I was referring to the master/slave cylinder, as I was told they might be contributing to my clutch feeling soft.

Just ordered act 2600 and will have it in by this weekend.

Now go troll somewhere else -_-

No shit they have seals in there. But I've never heard anyone call them "clutch seals". And the first thing that popped into my mind was his rear main going out and leaking oil all over the place.

But then again I don't know anything about cars.............
