  • Clutch gone

    Not enough swear words to say how I feel. Driving home tonight the clutch started slipping in all gears. Gear change still smooth and easy, no clutch smell, pedal feels same as always.

    Rang garage not covered. Rang Vauxhall will inspect and says what's needed for £79.99.

    Really struggled to get car moving near home, all up hill etc. Seemed OK in reverse strangely.

    Deep down I know it's the clutch, but any input would be appreciated. Clutch kits not that bad, it just the fitting, fly wheel and anything else it might need.

    Really pissed off.

              Will put advert up for pedel box, only a few months old and to be honest it's spent more time switched off than it has on. Trouble is I paid £220 for it, and this close to Christmas people don't have money to burn

                I would not go cheap on a clutch (you get what you pay for) on car as low on mileage unless you planing on trading it in after christmas.

                  No will go with luk I think, that's what vauxhall use I believe. Will get flywheel done at same time unless it's in 100% condition.

                      Yeah I know. And quicker than anywhere else. He knows Vauxhall, taught vauxhall technicians at college. Texted him after work tonight, 5 mins later he rang me with prices and options.

                      Just so annoyed. All the cheap cars I have had and no issues. Not had a clutch go for what about 30 years .

                        It's all that weight of wax you've got on the car!

                        Shouldn't joke. I'd be gutted too. Look on the bright side. This time next week it'll be fixed. Pedal box could still sell if someone buys it as their Christmas present.

                            5 months out of vauxhall warranty. Have asked if they can do anything, not holding my breath.
