Stiff Clutches!
« on: 18 September 2009, 11:30 »
I am looking at a '98 Golf GTI in my local garage. When I took it for a test drive that clutch was mega stiff, the gears change fine but the pedal needs pressing v.hard. I am a bit wary as have had probs with a similar aged GTI in the past. Can anyone advise if they think it wud mean replacing the clutch complately (in which case I wont bother-car is only £2000). Any help VERY much appreciated

Cheers

If it is a mk3 then it could be a cable issue, if it is hydraulic then it does sound clutch on its way out.

Tell them you may be interested in the car if the clutch worked properly.  :smiley: Welcome to the site by the way.
