Title: Noisy clutch
Post by: Jayjay on 02 September 2004, 20:51

Ive got a Mk3 GTi 8 V,

I recently had a problem with the clutch cable retaining clip falling out just as I got on the M25 (Nightmare), anyway refitted a new one, now I have several problems:

1: I have to wrestle to get into first gear
2: when i depress the clutch all the way in to change from first to second,second to third  theres a grinding noise.
3: when driving at a steady speed theres something rattling from the engine.

Could it be that the clutch is on its way out, Ive had the thing changed six month ago.

Someone please help!!!!!!!!!!
