Clutch again? Your having a laugh!!

[smithyl23]

3,000 miles since i spent 1k+ on a new clutch assembly,clutch cylinder and piston and associated pipes. It feels like the clutch isn't fully disengaging and feels like somtimes it clicks into gear. The clutch still bites in the same place and even if i say so myself i dont drive the car hard at all really. This is very worrying to say the least.

Has anyone had this symptom? so soon after a replacement. I could understand it happening 25k after the change but not within 3,000 miles. I feel like i'm one more big bill away from selling the car.

May I ask what clutch you have and who fitted it!

... and what warranty is came with.

Sorry to hear this, doesn't sound good. Maybe something just needs aligning or its a master cylinder instead of a slave problem (or whichever bit you may not have had done last time).

Have you spoke to SFR and if so what was the response.

not spoken to them yet, it's one of them situations where im 100 miles from garage and do i drive it there and possibly clutch fail, or transport it down there. I suppose i'm putting off what i fear could be the worst. Another big bill.

Personally I'd give them a call first asap - I hear good things of them from our region, I'm sure they'd want to help. It may possibly be a minor adjustment problem.
