Whilst on Fraser Island recently, I had the pleasure of getting my Frontera V6 bogged to the a**e on the
Waddy Point by pass, but with the help of a couple of good samaritans (and a troupie full of backpackers comes in handy too ), I was able to get snatched out backwards onto
the beach to try again. However shortly after this the clutch has developed a nasty shudder when taking off and reversing, and looking up a previous post has revealed that winching them backwards can force sand into the clutch and I suspect this is what has happened.
What I would like to know is if anyone one else has experienced this problem, and what the approximate cost of a clutch replacement would be.
cheers .

Seems like clutches are the achilles heel for Holden 4WD's. I had the first clutch replaced under warranty at 50k, then a complete gearbox rebuild at 70k, then Holden had to pull it again and reset the 4wd actuator gears as they didn't align them properly the first time. That sorted out, it's been running like a clock since. Not happy having to
fork out for a new clutch but it won't be a Holden dealer putting out his hand for the cash. Didn't help much either when a tree jumped out at me when reversing out of
our campsite and stoving in the tailgate. Would have been cheaper staying at
home, but nowhere near the fun had.
