Just has a new clutch put into a UK MY98 turbo.

Was a bit surprised to feel the pedal bite so high, kinda expected it would feel a weird action after the old one i.e. biting lower now?

Also it is still juddering even when hot which I thought was a bad thing? It has always done it cold but I assumed as it had started doing it when hot that it was all part of the clutch wearing out. With the new one in I thought it wouldnt happen anymore?

Thoughts and opinions pls...

was the flywheel checked and skimmed?

 

Flywheel was replaced.

 

standard or uprated clutch?

 

"semi-uprated" whatever that means

 

Was the work done by a dealer or specialist?? Either way I would take it back and get them to replace the complete clurch assembly and the flywheel again.

 

The work was done by a reputable specialist well know on this forum. Consequently I can't imagine they have pulled a fast one by any means but I just cant bring myself to feel 100% with it. At the same time I am not sure what I could say to them without implying that they didnt really do the work! Maybe it is just how it is and thats that... I'll also sound like a right ungrateful git as they surprised me by doing some extra bits for me to help finish it off at no extra cost!

 

Molds, if you are unhappy then take it back, if they are a reputable well known dealer on here then they should listen.

Its all very well just replacing the clutch but very few will adjust the pedal feel (Bite) when its been done, this is very easy to do at the pedal itself and takes 5 minutes.

There is no way a complete new clutch should still be causing judder especially when its hot.Get it back and get some piece of mind.
