Clutch on way out?


nixy

Recommended Posts

Pretty sure my clutch is on the way out. When i set off in first gear I get terrible juddering. This was horrendous today when doing a slight hill start. Seems to be a bit intermittent. Is this a symptom? No other signs as yet. This is typical - just sold my Clio shed and will have to use the cash to sort it!

Amazing work :lol:

 

SRSLY though, stick it in 6th going up a hill at about 40mph and floor it. If revs rise, clutch is f00bed. :thumbs:

Mine does this too, it's worst when doing a hill start. Other than this though it's fine, I can drop a load of revs on it and the car takes off like a rocket. Strange.

 

I figure I need a new clutch although it might be the flywheel at fault. Anyways I'll have to get both.

 

On a positive note though mine's been like this for a few thousand miles now with no change so I guess yours will last a while yet.

It was triptronic and that was one of the main reasons for getting it as read up about dodgy gearbox on the 350z.... but I do however have manual on my 370 ;)

Then there's the biting point sitting fairly high and also the throwout bearing :(

Best get it attended to I reckon, my experience of a juddering clutch was not a good one, read on.....

 

I had severe clutch judder on an MG many years ago. The car was brand new and when I complained (several times) the dealer I bought it from made an appointment for me to take it to the main dealer in Chester. After the chief mechanic drove it he said it was "typical" for this particular car so I shrugged my shoulders and carried on, a few weeks later with just 1,500 miles on the clock the clutch "exploded" and was replaced on warranty, together with the entire exhaust which was about to fall off apparently :lol: .

My clutch judders occasionally on hill starts, sometimes level ground, not exactly when being stupid with using too much gas either at the time.

 

However, clutch throwout bearing is also noisy for me and the biting point on the clutch seems pretty high.

 

Can't get it to slip whilst moving though.
