geordie_aaron Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Right, i'v had my organic (fast road) clutch for AROUND the 1 and a half year mark now... When i start the car up when its cold (morning only) the car trys to creep forward even with it out of gear and clutch down (always start the car with foot on clutch to lessen the strain on starter, old tale my dad told me when i was little lol) ANYWAY, the 'judder' isnt enough to actually move the car without handbrake on but you can tell its trying, i've tried the 'need a new clutch test'....putting in 5th and letin go of the clutch with no revs ETC and see how quick it dies....INSTANTLY it dies so that leads me to linkage or gearbox perhaps?? from what i've said what do people think? GearboxClutchLinkage? PS its hard to get in gear sumtimes (intermittent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotteh Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 cud be the gearbox if its hard to get into gear at times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmk6trx1 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 to adjust the pedal there is a allen key on the pedal! just get on your hands and knees and follow the clutch pedal up and your see it! its worth a try b-4 u do anythin else as it wont cost a penny!
