Well my mx3 wouldn't get into gear the yesterday when I was at a intersection :( I took it to a shop, they said they think it's the clutch fork. Looks like I have to get a new clutch as well. Does 1278$ Sounds like too much to spend on this? I'm also wondering if anyone know's of a good auto shop I can go to that know's the klze/mx3 setup? I live in the Denver/Boulder area.

Thanks,
Kevin

that sounds a little steep. and i asume you are talking american. get a good aftermarket clutch for like $500 CND then ask them to change the clutch and the fork. it might be the labour that is killing you though so i would recomend you do it yourself, or get a friend to do it. but as for the klze aspect it would not worry about telling them it is a klze. it is the same but you would need a stronger clutch than the mx-3 clutch. i would look to make sure that when you press your clutch the cable connected to the front of the transmission is moving. then you would know it isn't a line blown. look in the online manual and it might help you save some money. just my 2 cents

750 for clutch with labour and another 2-300 for tranny fork with labour. You might want to look at a used tranny $400 plus $500 for clutch and labour would be cheap as it would just be a swap! If your tranny fork went then you might have been harsh on the tranny and it woiuld be a good idea to take a good look at that tranny inside too.

Yeah I've gotta find somewhere else to take it. This place won't even let me buy a aftermarket clutch to put in there. They will only use theirs :( Damn, So anyone know of someone or some place that might be able to take care of this in the Denver Area?
