The clutch on my EVO is making a scratching noise. Its at 112,000 miles, the clutch assembly has been off in the past so I assumed it had a new clutch, but maybe not, maybe it had something done to the gearbox. Its too dark to do more right now. My wife says the clutch pedal has no resistance, she doesn't normally drive this car so it was a surprise to her. It feels normal to me because it is my daily driver. So yeah....
What tests do I need to do tomorrow?
This isn't my project car that I rescued from the scrapyard, so I haven't done that much work on this car really, just a front subframe, brakes, exhaust and various electrical bits and pieces. I've mostly been putting the miles on this car because its scruffy, lots of little scratches, interior plastic failing etc. in anticipation of it dying. Do I really need to put a clutch in this when I could get another with less miles and less scruffy? I'm planning on buying a Panda anyway so I can teach my son to drive without totally crippling insurance.
How long can I drive this before it fails completely? And what'll happen?
I've not changed a clutch before, so if I decide to change it then i'll use this thread, its likely to take me a couple of weeks by the time kit has arrived, its stopped raining etc.
Thoughts?
