clutch freeplay
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2011 10:59 pm
Hey all hope people had a good christmas and new year.
Over the festive period there was alot of free play in my clutch pedal, not knowing much
about mechanics i got my haynes manual out and found out that adjusting the disk is
straightforward. Felt happy about my pedal not flapping and drove some more and its gone flappy
again. Ive adjusted it again but its now at its limit so i am not driving it as I think it will slip again.
My friend who normaly sorts things out is out the country traveling so I phoned a garage explained the problem
and they said I probably need a new clutch witch will cost me £400. Does it sound like the clutch needs replacing
or could there be another explanation? and if the clutch needs replacing is there anyone who could help me out
as I cant really afford £400 at the mo and dont want to part with my car either.
Any help or advice would be greatly apreciated
thanks
Stu
