clutch

[m1234]

hey guys... i was wondering how long it would take to totally f*ck up the clutch. I have a 2003 tib 6 speed and i'm new with the manual. i get the basics but my starts are kinda rough and sometimes i stall. Thanks a lot.

Warranty does not cover the clutch under abuse.

Well since the tranny is a whole new tranny then it is hard to tell. Nobody has burned one up yet. Maybe you will be the first.<img src=/images/forums/snitz/laugh.gif width=15 height=31 border=0>

Go hire a car, then practice your starts all day, no point fu*king your own car up<img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

A normal clutch will last @ 100,000 miles - that is with people like my wife driving a stick - very shaky! And why can't she figure out how to put the car in reverse?!!!! I've told her 3 fricken times!!! It's a good thing she rarely drives my car.

I have only ever seen a clutch last to 100,000 miles when the car was driven without any abuse.

Go read <a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/transmission.htm">THIS </a> It's a how stuff works article on manual trannies. that will give you a GREAT understanding of why your tranny reacts the way it does. Then... read <a href="http://ww.howstuffworks.com/clutch.htm">THIS</a> It's a how stuff works article on clutches. Both these articles should give you a good understanding of what NOT to do <img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0> I'm replacing my clutch in the next two weeks. I"m at 60,000 miles on my 98 tib. I'm usually pretty nice to her too. You're 16 and you're a guy (sorry ladies) You should have no trouble picking it up in less than 2 weeks. I still grind a gear once in a blue moon, but hey, who doesn't. Just go slow and you're all set! <img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0>

yo m1234,

i was/still in your shoes when i bought my first 5spd (read below)

but like i was told once below.....it should be able to take abuse, just not too much<img src=/images/forums/snitz/uhh.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

been about 3 wks for me(since i bought the car), and i seen to have everything pretty good, only thing for me is that i have a heavy gas foot and a light clutch foot if u know what i mean<img src=/images/forums/snitz/disapprove.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

(gonna be hard to stop doin it too, cause to this day, i still find myself revving to hard, and not lettin the clucth out quick enuff.....
BUt i will catch on, got faith in myslef<img src=/images/forums/snitz/cool.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>

O BTW, i have to take mines to the dealership, cause im startin to hear a funny metal scrapping/coins falling to the ground (hope i described that right) and it happens at random, downshifting, upshifting, crusing in ANY gear.....so its freakin me out.......gotta go get it fixed!
