Replacing AWD clutches?

Can someone throw out a rough estimate on the costs involved in replacing transfer clutches on a AWD that is only running in FWD?

Thanks

LAN, YT, and OT are the only ones I know who have done this, outside of trans shops.

Depends, it is not very common, although it does happen, that the clutches wear out. usually it is a solenoid issue or a breakage in the transmission. What car do you speak of?

I replaced my plates when my duty solenoid c went out on my '92.

6 31588AA060 PT070399 TRANSFER PL $11.29 $67.74
1 31942AA090 VALVE AY TRANSFER CL $78.87 $78.87
2 31954AA071 GASKET TRANSFER VALV $1.16 $2.32
1 31337AA120 GASKET TRANS CASE RE $3.73 $3.73
...From subaruparts.com.

You might expect labor to be at around $200 from an independent shop, double that for a dealership. I was quoted $150 to replace all the parts above but it ended up costing a lot more since my clutch drum was sheared off. I do all my own work now...

Fyi... I believe the transfer plates/part numbers are different depending on the thickness of the first pressure plate.

I did it once. It's a relatively scary repair to do on your own. I did it on a Legacy, and I think it cost me about $200 in parts. The clutch pack was the bulk of that, with gaskets and the solenoid taking up the rest.

I believe that Level 10 sells a clutch pack kit that might be worth checking out if you do your own work.
