Clutch wear??

Radders · 25-02-2009, 10:37 PM

can't find any information on the CSL clutch wear. anyone had one replaced? how long do they tend to last and what tell tales signs indicate that it could be on its way out?

it is just like any other semi automatic like the fez and start slipping etc?

Yeah just had mine done at 45k , and its the second one under warranty , did not notice the second one ... but seems too lag when hard pushing , like an old fashioned satellite delay !!

... first one was really bad ... .. now its pin sharp whatever im doing

ummm mine seems to lag when pushing hard, especially into 2nd gear.

how can you get a clutch done under warranty?? thats a first for warranty to cover clutches?

its covered if you have a full warranty ... the first one I said it needed it , the second one they suggested it !!

Sytner are good tho , in my experience as long as you dont take the piss and get silly things changed all the time ..like door trims etc ...

If its slipping , simple , book it in and tell them , should be no issue

Yeah, book it in if you have warranty. Had mine changed at 36,000 miles. It was slurring/slipping on change up. Clutch was not worn out after inspection. They said a compensating component was faulty, so changed that, clutch and flywheel all under warranty.

I use Cotswold Cheltenham and have had good service so far.

I will be asking to get mine done soon as it feels quite bad. Only 23K on the clock though

When I am drving it and take the rpm to about 6k,change up and I seem to get this slurr before it seems to grip but doesn't feel as bad if I take it to the redline (if that makes sense)

All CSL SMG will slip if you change at 6k and dont lift off the throttle!

As above. Its normal.

I noticed this too. what is the reason for the slip at certain revs ?

Really? Hope mine is worse than most and a new clutch does stop it a bit.
