Funnily enough mine seems to give the slightest judder in first gear only when its hot/warm.

Does this mean my clutch is on the way out ?

LOL, you sounded in a proper panic on the phone.

I recon the cable is shafted and something wore through enough to make it operate fully, it'll probably fail entirely soon though

Cheers for picking up Danny, TBH it did proper s**t me up... one minute it was FUBAR'd and then the next it was as good as new... lol!

You need to speak to Jay/Burp.

I sold him my track car and that had EXACTLY the same fault with the clutch pedal.

FFS, standard issue then is it? ;)

LOL!


Does anyone know what needs to be replaced to fix the "ratchet" system (if it has one)????????

OK, so I just took the car for a quick trip around the block, the judders are back and I'm now getting a burning smell upon depressing the clutch....

AND I'm supposed to drive it home from Luton to Kent...

Thoughts?

I'm fixing it on saturday... (new clutch kit, cable, GB oil, everything).

I needed to get to Luton this weekend, and as it was drivable, I went for it, it made it just fine, even fixed itself... but then, today, there's a burning smell when the clutch is down... lol!

I just wanted an idea of what it was before I tried to drive it home... :eek:

FYI, Failsport do extraordinary rates. PM if you get stuck.. (;

In my experience, bits like this you can only diagnose by taking the thing apart and looking at everything as it comes off. Had the same kind of thing with my 106d, wouldn't go in and out of gear sometimes, but others it'd be fine. Stripped everything down apart from clutch plate off and said to my mate 'if the clutch doesn't come out in bits, i'll be stumped'- it fell out in three bits, lol.
