New to me B7 - Clutch Problem
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2019 3:22 am
Hi guys! First post here after picking up my first V8 a couple of weeks! A lovely B7 Avant in Misano!
This morning though when starting the car, I have found the clutch not fully actuating and not disconnecting the drive when fully depressed. It is actuating enough to allow the clutch to slip slightly but not enough to make gear changes possible without forcing it with a bit of the old Rev matching. There’s been no and is still no sticking of the pedal to the floor or anywhere in the throw like I’ve read in other threads.
Don’t know what would cause this to happen with the car stood? It was absolutely fine prior and there has been no obvious deterioration. The bite point has always been relatively low down in the throw so I can’t imagine it’s wear? There is still full correct feeling in the pedal and it does not ‘pump up’ - does anyone have any experience of this one?
Cheers!
