View Full Version : Clutch has a 'sticky' place.

As I am letting my clutch out - in a controlled and slow/medium speed - in the middle of the travel - it feels like the pressure/rate at which the clutch moves changes, like it is catching on something.

It is very suttle. I had the dealer look at it, but they said they couldn't find any thing.

I have had the car for 1 year as of next week - 24,569 miles to date.

Is this just clutch wear, or something others have felt?

our clutch is weird. I had mine replaced three weeks ago. New one feels weird too, but in a different way. I chalk it up to the Sachs flywheel.

Is this something that has been happening since day 1?

Strange, isn't it? There must be a way to adjust it. I tried out the clutch in ralphyralphs car at the meat last weekend and his will make your leg ache. I'm not sure how he drives it with the amount of pressure he needs to press the pedal in.

No, the clutch stick has been in the last 3k.

The change was suttle, and I think it is getting a little more noticable, but that could be the drugs I am snorting - poodle crack weed.:cool:
