Could be clutch slipping, check to see there is no oil leaking under the car, there could be a possibility that the oil seal is damaged causing oil to leak out, if there's no oil around it sounds like you'd need a new clutch!

DO NOT use mr clutch. There is so many horror stories about them its un real. Go to an independent back street garage because they will probably be cheaper and less likely to mess up your car

 

[DaveMcT]

The small independents survive on reputation so more likely to do a good job. They are also better on labour rates. Which is good because Punto clutches usually don't slip before the pressure plate fails.

You must get the gearbox input shaft seal examined whiles its off the car. There's a very good chance its leaking and the bearings behind have failed. It will need new bearings and seal.

Mr Wild posted a useful guide on gearbox bearings.

Thanks will definately do

Got quotations labour going to cost around 80 and the clutch kit costs 69 with two year gurantee the make is some thing like valeo..... Starting with v what do you think guys should I go for it ...

 

[DaveMcT]

£80 is a very good price. I would be happy paying £120 plus parts for clutch swap.

You need to factor in the gearbox job. Its not much in parts (any bearings factors will stock them) but it will take some labour time.

Try get some reference on the guy's work, but in the end he has a reputation to maintain.

 

[creative335]

He is been doing it for long time kind of engine replacement expert asian lad but I heard he does solid work n can take tenner off if u ask him to reduce price n ill print out some stuff from forum and gave it to him just for reference ......

 

[DaveMcT]

If he does a good job put his details in the recommendations section.

 

[creative335]

guess what guys been driving car all day and clutch is not slipping nw wht u guys recommend should i still replace my clutch or keep on driving the car till the time its fully nakerd lol or dont take the risk and get it changed thanks will post him on recommendation...

 

[DaveMcT]

If clutch action is smooth it may be ok. If its lumpy or springy the pressure plate is failing.

Put it it 4th gear and try to drive away. If it doesn't stall clutch is slipping.

If all seems ok, use the car until symptoms get worse. Keep gearbox oil topped up.
