My 52 Stilo has only done 36K miles but i think the clutch is done.
The bite is really high, it judders when its warm and the pedal squeeks and is a bit notchy.
It doesnt slip though, ive tried it on some steep hills and it still pulls away fine, all be it juddering.
I suspect i need a new clutch but is there anything i can do to make it a bit better/last a while longer?
I think the cable might be causing the notchy, creaking pedal, so maybe i should replace that first.
The thing i have noticed though is that if i bring the clutch up a bit the car wants to pull away, but i then have to bring the clutch up an awful lot more to get the car to move!
The car is costing quite a bit at the moment with the various things it needs doing, so id ideally like it to last a bit longer. It will be doing more miles than it has done from now on (about 1300-1500 a month) so it needs to be reliable.
Had i best just bite the bullet and get it replaced?
