Toyota Camry Clutch Replacement Cost (2026)
Manual Camry was offered through 2017 on the four-cylinder trims. Parts availability is still good, the job is routine, and a typical quote runs $1,200 to $1,700 at an independent shop. Older manual Camrys (XV20, XV30) are slightly cheaper because the labour access is easier.
Why this number
Why a Toyota Camry costs what it does
The Camry sits in the affordable mid-size band. Aisin (Toyota group) supplies the factory clutch on most generations, and Exedy kits are widely available. The transaxle drops in 6 to 8 hours of shop labour. There is nothing exotic in the engine bay; this is not a $2,500 job unless something else is going on.
What can push a Camry quote higher: a flywheel that needs replacement instead of resurfacing (rare on a daily-driven Camry), a slave cylinder leak found mid-job, or a shop in a high-rate metro. Quotes north of $1,800 on a standard manual Camry deserve an explanation.
Parts
Typical parts breakdown
Standard kit: friction disc, pressure plate, release bearing, pilot bearing. Aisin or Exedy kit for $350 to $550. The Camry uses a hydraulic clutch on most manual generations; slave cylinder replacement is a sensible $40-$100 add-on if the shop spots fluid weeping.
OEM-equivalent kits from Aisin are the default for this platform.
Labour
Shop-book labour hours
6 to 8 hours of shop labour is the consistent estimate. Slightly more on AWD-equipped variants (rare in the Camry lineup) or where heat shielding has rusted in place. At $100 to $150 per hour, the labour component runs $600 to $1,200.
Model-year variations
Years where the job differs
2002 to 2006 (XV30). Easiest access, simplest kit. Quotes at the bottom of the band.
2007 to 2011 (XV40).Still routine, broad parts availability. The standard reference for “Camry clutch” quotes.
2012 to 2017 (XV50). The last manual Camrys. Slightly tighter access; quotes run $50 to $200 higher than earlier generations.
2018 onward. Automatic-only. Not applicable.
Shop-floor notes
What mechanics actually say
Most Camry clutch failures are friction-disc wear at high mileage. The platform is rarely abused, so flywheel damage and pressure plate failures are uncommon.
A shop quote that includes “flywheel replacement” on a Camry without specific evidence (scoring, hot spots) is worth pushing back on. Resurfacing is usually fine.
