Are you using some formula1 racing god-tier clutch?
do the clutch yourself???
it's as easy as changing your oil. you have to be a complete moron or a stacy normie to have never done a clutch yourself before
>>17560646
Drop the trans and do the clutch yourself. If you've got 4 jack stands and a floor jack, which you should, you can do it.

>slave is $350
wat. it's a $40 part, tops, plus an hour of labor, tops.
seriously, you can do the slave and master yourself in an afternoon for well under $100. it's a common problem. slave cylinder is pretty much in the front right wheel well. check the fluid level at the master; have a buddy work the clutch and check to see if the master or slave leak.

Nah LS swapping it in an afternoon is definitely a simpler affair, you'd have to be fully retarded to not be able to do this

But I'll bite.
If he had money to blow on labor rates he would've purchased a more expensive car.

A clutch on an MX-5 should cost no more than $600 to do. Find a mechanic that isn't a fucking idiot.
