ur gonna go through a clutch in 6 months?

 

It took me six months to kill this one, but it probably is the stock one, and has been abused since day one. I got the car at 47k or so and its at 53k now....how long do they normally last?

 

definately more than 6 months or 6k. so did the car have a new clutch when you got it?

 

i highly doubt it, it most likely was the original one, and i was the lucky winner. Regrettably, i have no idea of the history of my car. I am having the shop save my parts so i can check later on tomorrow probably when i get it back.

 

damn i could have done it for you sunday. good luck. and yea a clutch normally last a while. unless you slip it a lot

 

yeah man.... sorry this was definitely not "the plan", I figured i could make it a few more days, but no dice. I still am going to pay you a visit if i get the car back by saturday, I have many other things this car needs to have done to it.

 

yea come by...ill be there.

 

Well I got it back today. New clutch and flywheel, with installation. Grand total: $1395.44

It feels kinda weird, cuz my old one required you to really mash in the pedal and it engaged when it was just about released all the way. it was really tough too, My left leg was on some incredible hulk status from pushing that thing in.

When i left i stalled the damn thing because now it engages when you let the clutch out an inch and when you barely push the clutch in it goes to the floor immediately. Is this way it is supposed to be?!!?

 

yes.
