Concentric slave cylinder / hydraulic release bearing (gearbox out): how much does it cost?
Typically NZ$710–NZ$1,510 in New Zealand and A$750–A$1,560 in Australia, including GST. Most cars.
| Parts (trade) | Labour | Sublet | Total incl GST | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Zealand | NZ$110–NZ$380 | 4–7 h | — | NZ$710–NZ$1,510 |
| Australia | A$100–A$350 | 4–7 h | — | A$750–A$1,560 |
What affects the price
The CSC sits inside the bellhousing, so the gearbox has to come out; AU parts $250-700 retail on European cars, less on Japanese. Usually worth doing a clutch kit at the same time.
