Oh, my bad. Feel free to create a new list with the actual cost of parts, and the amount of time it takes to do each. I still think my point gets across, considering you can change brake pads faster than clutches,transmissions, and engines, and the
average person has the facilities/tools/technical knowledge to change brake pads and
is more likely to do so without going to a mechanic . The money figures are just ballpark anyway .. there can be wide variation in those numbers.
Of course, I could be wrong, everyone could be able to swap clutches faster than brakepads and wants to do it at home.
