Clutch problems PLEASE HELP



  RenaultSport clio 172 mk2
Hi,

I have had my 172 cup 03 plate now for nearly a week, and i just CANT get used to the clutch, so i'm thinking its nackerd !! the car has done 40k and has its full service history -

The problem is setting off, i either stall it, rev it to hard and wheel spin, lurch and judder,,,, also when i am chaging gear if i put the throttle back on i never get it smooth always rocks my head back, only way i get it smooth is hardly any throttle and a very very slow clutch release,

Id say the bite is 3/4's up and its very rare i get a clean start at the trafoc lights or junctions, its also very hard for me to creep when in a que -

I think there could be aproblem with my clutch, it is quite stiff -

ive come from a saxo and i can drive lol - i know i can !!

Is it just my heavy foot ??

Please help, its still under warenty so i dont want to go back to the garage and appear the fool.

Thanks, ben
 
Yes, clutch is like a rock in the beginning. You will get used to after a while. If you try Porsche, it is even more stiffer.

Even my old 1.2 16v clutch was rather stiff to be honest think its just a thing with the clios from what i have heard.

its done 40k

I can handle the clutch been stiff, i just cant handle the bite - its either on or off so to speak - there is no mid section where i can pull off smoothly, its a race start or very very slow and juddery
