Hi, I'm a female Z owner hoping for some good advice here.
I have a 2007 facelift 350Z, factory standard so no mods (yet!). I lost my clutch on Friday night, the pedal went straight to the floor and fluid leaked onto the ground. Had the AA take a look and the chap said it was the slave cylinder. He also said the gearbox would need to be dropped to do the repairs.
I know a bit about cars but not enough to hold my own against an unscrupulous mechanic, so as a chick I don't want to go to a garage and be scammed in the typical fashion that a lot of women are.
Could someone please give me an idea of what this repair might entail? Could it just be a hose or seal replacement, or could I be looking at an entire clutch kit etc.....?
And any idea of £££ would be appreciated.
This is the first ever failure on the car (16 years of blissful driving!) so I don't have a mechanic, hence I need urgent advice to avoid being taken for a ride (pun intended).
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
