Clutch Costs?

Hey All,

Just wanted to know a ball park figure on a clutch replacement kit for my 120 2004, 5 speed diesel ?

Not sure if it actually needs it but was trying to prepare myself if need be.

Clutch feels good but i had a incident while towing a empty box trailer where i mounted gutter at maccas to park on the grass, gently put my 2 front wheels over gutter then stopped at the back, tried gentle over and clutch was slipping like i was in neutral :O. could smell the burning, backed up and attempted again in low range and was all good.

Since then i have tried second gear with hand brake on as suggested by my mechanic and she stalls out as it should, no slipping. Like i said clutch feels solid in every other aspect, Any idea's of why this would happen ?

cheers

zutta,
I doubt the clutch has had much wear from one incident.
also i got a heavy duty clutch put in for about $850 i think.

also why this would happen is that the stock clutch is so weak that it cant take heavy load so it just burns out especially reversing up hills, which is why i got a heavy duty clutch installed.
