Clutch Problem?

[haf1zur]

Hi
Realised after driving another mk3 that the clutch is very very high up, and also, when i put my right foot down on the gas, after about 2000rpm the rev counter increases as if the clutch is pressed in.

Wondering if that is a new clutch or just need to bleed the master cylinder?

Any help appreciated

Sounds like the clutch is slipping pretty bad, new clutch time I'd say!

Sounds like you need a new clutch dude!

Just had mine done two weeks ago along with the flywheel after my clutch casing shattered.

Would these do the job?

Or should i just get a standard one from the dealers, i have a very heavy right foot so would be nice to have it last a while. If any of you know a better source costing less then please let me know.

The second one looks fine and there is a thrust bearing!

Certainly wouldnt pay 200 quid for an OMP one!

ordered the second one, 95 pounds including next day delivery, which isnt too bad

just need a diy guide on how to fit it, would the haynes manual have this info?

It will but not always that detailed.

Basic guide.

with car on ground undo centre wheel nuts.
Drain gearbox.
jack up
Split bottom suspension ball joint
Remove drive shafts
Split gearbox away from engine, supporting both seperately
Change clutch
Put back together.

That is very simplistic and have missed out a lot of small steps!

len you forgot about the way the clutch is bolted to the crank and then the flywheel covers this....and that the clutch is not just bolted to the flywheel like normal car's.......and the fact you need a spline key to remove the driveshaft's.
not the simpliest of job's worst luck as everything is back to front
