Sticky Clutch???

Post by theaxe » Tue Apr 22, 2008 7:11 pm

Driving home from the station I noticed that the clutch was taking a while to come up when changing gear. It works okay but it's a weird sensation.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Vacuum assist line may need replacing with an upgrade; your dealer will know about it.

Ah, I thought I'd read something along those lines. Thanks, I'll take it up with them.

Just a quick update, I had this mod done under warranty and it's such a massive improvement. I wish I'd had it done ages ago.

Also just had mine replaced. Only realy stuck down if it was being really thrashed/rapid heal'n'toe changes. Seems OK now.
