Aston Martin Vantage
Discussion
Can't say for sure about Aston Martin but generally a warranty won't cover a wear and tear item such as a clutch if the part has failed due to wear and tear. If you can be sure that the clutch has not worn out after 20k due to yours or somebody else's driving then I would be looking to Aston to find out why it's worn so quickly and if there is some other underlying fault.
Hi Ian,
Sounds about right, you'll get better feedback in the Aston section here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...

This. Lots of Aston owners on here, lots of knowledge on the modern cars - more so than AMOC.Sounds about right, you'll get better feedback in the Aston section here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&a...
Would guess at that mileage its a Sportshift, not that uncommon.

Here's a thought. What if clutches wear out early on a dual clutch box? The clutch is electronically controlled so is that fair wear and tear or a fault? As for the Aston, I seem to remember they're notorious for clutch wear.
It still has to be driven correctly. My car is a "slushmatic" normal torque converter auto and as there's no direct link I can sit on a hill and hold it on the throttle. On an automated manual however you're riding, and ultimately burning, the clutch.
A lot of people don't understand the difference...

Your first ever PH post isn't going how you imagined I guess?
Some of you must be so proud of yourselves, a newbie comes on here with his first post asking for advice and most of you feel it's clever to make snide comments. Nice. We aren't all like that OP, stick with it there's useful, interesting and funny stuff and helpful people on here too. 897sma said:
