After 13000 I felt it was time for a new clutch. 1st and reverse were getting clunky to get into.

Took the car to TVR Power and got a new clutch fitted this week. All I can say is what a difference !

I can't ever remember it being so easy to get into gear. Even when I bought the car new 3 years ago.

Strangely the car feels quicker.

so called

Yep, mine is getting a bit difficult to get into first.
How long did they take ?

Is it only me, that sometimes I get little lazy and don't depress the clutch right to the bottom and get a crunching of the gears. With such a long travel , and I guess my legs might be little on the short side , it's so easy to forget...Never crunch gears on Chim or BMW, in fact I can virtually change gear on the BMW without using the clutch.
