Technical Clutch Problem ?

[Shooter]

Got a 99 1.6 weekend sx.When I press the clutch down, there is a vibrating noise.No problems changing gears, and as far as I am aware the clutch isn't slipping.

Any ideas as to what it could be?

Sounds like the clutch release bearing on its way out.

 

[Shooter]

Thanks for that.

Is it an expensive/long job to do?

And will it be ok to still use the car?

Quite a big job, needs the gearbox off. Could be pricey, although the 1.6 should be a lot cheaper than I paid for my 2.4.

And will it be ok to still use the car?

For now, although when they fail they go suddenly. I'd be talking to garages and getting prices asap. Check your breakdown insurance is up to date!

Thanks again.

It looks like it's time to get rid.

What, that you can't give them away?

Can I ask how much it cost you to get yours done?

Hellcat paid £1040 for his. Now i have to wait even longer for my birthday present

Indeed I will...

Noooooo! Don't scrap it just because it needs a clutch! You could sell it/scrap it, buy another car, and have its clutch fail after a month. If you fix it at least you know it is good for thousands of miles. Think about it. I could have bought another 130JTD for a little more than I paid for the clutch - but I should have at least another 150k out of it on this new clutch.

Get some quotes for the job.. I'll ask at my fav garage on Friday for a quote and lets see how little we can get your noisey clutch replaced for
