Hi,
i have nissan sentra 1998 manual 5 spd. yesteraday when i was going at
the interstate it just came to standstill. The problem was clutch. even
after full release and at low gear it was not transmitting power. I
have to get it towed away. I think it is a clutch repair. Can anybody
give me the estimate how much repair cost i am looking here? I shall be
highly obliged.
Thanks in advance.

Depends on where you live and what was destroyed by driving it till it
wouldn't move. Somewhere between $400-800?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for replying. I am not sure what is broken?? Well i live in Ohio
(Cincinnati). I just wanted an estimate. So according to you it
shouldbe between 400-800 bucks. I assume it should include labor
charges too.
I also want to ask what sould be the repair cost in the worst case.
Which are the critical components that makes this repair cost so high.
Thanks in advance..

Correct.

A lot depends on the quality of the parts used. Also depends on the quality
of the labor, where you live (labor rates vary) and if the flywheel has
been damaged or not.

HI Steve,
Thanks for replying again. What is flywheel and what is its function?
Is the cost of repair more if the flywheel is damaged?
thanks in advance,
regards

It's the part the clutch bolts to that is normally not replaced when doing a
clutch job. There are 2 mating surfaces (pressure plate and flywheel) with
the friction material (clutch disk) between these 2 surfaces. When the
clutch disk is worn out, the clutch slips and damages these mating
surfaces. Usually the flywheel can be reused since it is a much heavier
piece of metal than the pressure plate or can be machined if it isn't
damaged too badly.

> Is the cost of repair more if the flywheel is damaged?

Yes and it probably is since it was driven till it wouldn't move anymore.
