As I was leaving work this evening, I went to put the clutch down, and there was LOADS of play! Usually, the whole travel of the peddle is stiff, but tonight is was free, and only last hal inch or so was "stiff".... Gradually came back, and after 5-10minutes driving, the clutch peddle was back...

Anybody did this themselves? I plan on doing it with another pair of hands at work. We have ramps, transmission stands and all the tools. Just wondering if its much of a clart on for people who have done it themselves? does the subframe have to be dropped or anything? Crossy

Ive got a new Helix clutch, new release bearing and lighten fly but sometimes the car doesnt always release properly from 1st gear. I spoke to a friend who is also a mechanic and he said thats the characteristics of the clutch surely thats not right??

When I am accelerating and the car hits about 2500 revs the revs climb fast and the speed does not, then if I ease off the accelerator, the revs drop back to about 2500 then if i accelerate more gently the revs go higher and so does the speed. I first noticed this problem when the roads...

Hi one and all, Bought a Leon Reference Sport 2.0 TDI with a 196BHP remap with 325nm torque (was 140BHP) and it hasn't had a clutch upgrade, my local specialist says I need a new clutch and that a good one is about £700 as the clutch could go and mess up the flywheel and cost me thousands...

Just taken the box out of my Altea 2.0 TDI & I'm pretty sure the DMF is phucked! It seems to have end float, ie, you can seperate the two parts slightly - I don't think this should be happening!! So, suggestions for the best place (price) to get a replacement. Cheers.

New member to the forum here don't drive a seat but know a few of the lad's on here. Somebody take a look at this clutch and give opinions please, wanting a new clutch to cope with a lot more torque and a flywheel (debating whether to go single mass) preparation for hybrid turbo. £600 It's a...

Right Types of Clutch Plates ; Paddle/Puck or Button These clutches are sometimes quite unusually shaped and have relatively small areas of friction lining on each paddle. This serves to reducing the overall contact area acting upon the flywheel when compared to a full-face clutch. With no...

well today i was at a traffic lights, put in 1st gear, to wait for light turn green, then about 3 sec later, i heard some weird noise, so try to put the car in natural, and found the gear stick was really hard to move, also really stiff to put in first gear. After i got home with my car window...
