clutch

Just wonderin, how much is a new clutch for a 1.2 16V 53 plate?:dapprove:

 

[Fred@BTM]

clutch on its own is about £80-£100

labour to fit is the fun part!

 

[Fred@BTM]

are you sure its the clutch? 100K miles is around the average life of a clutch on a 1.2 16v (as long as you can drive)

has the cable snapped or something?

 

[leo529]

^^^^^^that don't sound good^^^^^.
ooh i dunno, only done 36k and when i put my foot down some times the rev meter goes up, then goes down, went to kwik fit they said it might be a ne clutch needed.

Clutch at 36k is a bit soon to be honest unless you drive like a c**t, & don't let kwik fit touch it atall

Grease your clutch cable like Fred said, might be sticking/jamming somewhere.

Take it to mike at Rentech, he'll tell you what it is, and he's in portsmouth too

I had a similar problem at 25k, the clutch itself was fine but the oil coating due to a failed gearbox input shaft seal wasn't.

Renault wouldn't cover it under warrenty and wanted to charge me £1k to change the gearbox, a £40 seal/bearing and a weekend spend mostly in the garage and it was back better than before.

Not saying its the same thing but the symptoms seem very similar.

so u think it might be the gearbox seal or bearing, will ask rentec to check it out. hopfully it won't costme that much as i need new tyres, a mot and a holiday booked.

Good effort :approve:

Leo, Mike will sort it for you

Not saying it is that its just what happened to me, could be something failed in the clutch you won't know until the gearbox is off.
