If they take it out and the clutch itself isn't worn then warrenty should cover, but all depends on how the dealer involved relays information and how well they understand the normal issues the CSL suffers.

The dealer is very aware of the situation, it's in at our favourite place Nathan, the trouble is it's the best part of £650 labour just to take the gearbox out and then it still might not be covered dependent on what they find! Catch 22 now and it's the main thing I wanted sorted with the bloody car!

As above mate...

I assume you have latest SMG upgrade and all that Dan ?

[shimmy]

they would have reprogrammed latest update for SMG (never works so get the money back if warranty succesful)

my first clutch lasted 42k and wear was minimal but slur was huge

second one lasted 25k miles and had one day of warranty lef t on it

make sure you ask to have the clutch plate if they say it is not warrantied and you will get independant check of it.


Dan - the clutch will not be worn out, just badly designed.
