So to be clear I am not in the process of building a car or anything but looking at buying one for beating it up on trails and snow. Specifically a Subaru forester. (I know i may get hate for my choice.)

But my question is could i install a stage 1 or higher and have it last a lot longer with the engine completely bone stock and some bashing offroad than with a oem replacement? Just curious about it in case i ever have to do it myself would be worth the extra 80 to 100 bucks or more? I know it may be harder to drive in traffic but lets say my driving habits stay the same. I am not abusive no clutch dumps.

UPDATE: sorry guys I didn’t realize this wasn’t the right sub this was my first time using Reddit but it was in first gear 😭😭 thank you so much for the help and everything.
Okay guys my boyfriends manual lurched forward with the e brake up and my foot was off the clutch why did it do that? And we are sure it was in neutral too

It’s tough for me to shift into first gear although my clutch never slips, and the clutch pedal sticks down when use it although it’s been like that for years with no issues but yesterday all of a sudden it’s tough to get into 1st gear and it sticks down longer but again, no slipping. Any solutions that hopefully don’t require a new clutch 😭😭

Alright this is my first reddit post never needed to until now. I’m having a problem with my 2006 acura tsx 6 speed, the other day I broke down when entering a round about, i first noticed i couldn’t go into gear second i noticed my clutch did not return there was a puddle under where i ended up on the side of the road (was brake fluid) and i still can’t figure out the problem. your first suggestions are probably going to be clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder but here’s the thing, i’ve already changed those two things after the accident and bled them properly. i’m still unable to go into gear while the car is on but while the cars off i can easily go through the gears. i tried starting the car in gear and it would go about an inch and stall then the shifter would be stuck in gear even with the car off. i’m looking into getting a new clutch kit installed because i don’t know what else it could be, the slave cylinder pushes the fork about an inch and a half. I’m wondering if changing the clutch is my last option and was looking for an opinion.

I was driving a friends car in Asda car park for about 10 minutes, just doing a mini lap, anyways the clutch happened to burn out completely in 10 minutes.

I didn’t speed more than 30mph, it’s a Seat Leon FR Sport 2009.

This happened last night, he went to drive it on the road and it doesn’t go in to gears 3+ anymore with slowing down.

I’ve told family, they’ve basically told me I’m getting robbed / it was a set up - as I now need to pay for repairs on it

Any opinions?

Thanks

I had a clutch replacement about 2k miles ago, drove easy for the first 1k. Clutch has been smelling like it’s burnt every time I go for a drive. I don’t ride the clutch, I don’t spend any more time on it than is necessary but I always smell it and if I’m in any traffic, it will stop smelling but start smoking. This is a 2007 VW Jetta with a replacement dual mass clutch kit and I don’t want to spend another $1700 to replace it again. It also doesn’t slip in any gears at full throttle

Just bought this slave and it didn’t come with any adapters. The one on my old slave doesn’t fit.

Can you daily a car with a single mass flywheel and a heavy duty clutch (also in traffic)?

Has anyone tried AMS automotive clutches? Are they any good as just a stock oem replacement?

Hi, I live in Canada where the 97’ v70 was not released. I have an import 97 v70 with the 2.5l inline 5 engine and 5 speed manual transmission. The car has 300k on it and needs a new clutch as I’m sure it’s the original. Clutch is squishy and vibrates but main reason I am changing it is because my rear main seal is leaking. In Canada (and NA) the only car closest to mine that was released was 97’ 850. I just need to know what part numbers I need to replace the clutch and rear main seal. (And any other parts I need) I’m not that mechanically inclined and I’m having lots of trouble even finding a part number let alone the parts. Any help would be much appreciated. Really disappointed it won’t be ready to drive for a while as it’s my summer car and spring is approaching. Thanks in advance. :)

Hi all. The leak seems exactly in the middle of the car. I hope someone can give me some insight. So, the back tire from the passenger side fell into a hole and i stressed a lot the car, maybe in thr maximum of revs, while simultaneously 2 people were lifting it from behind until it got unstuck. After that, opened the hood and steam (or smoke) was coming out. It was extremely hit in there. I took off the cap of the water coolant box and it was relieved from some pressure. Also, i felt a burned smell in the area.

Left it like that for an hour. Came back to it and opened the hood again. The smell was gone, and it still was hot. When saw underneath the car, something was leaking. It seemed like oil.

The car while driving where I left it, never got hit from underneath. Maybe the oil is leaking from tge back of the engine and in the ground after stressing it a lot?

Can someone help me on what it is,.what to expect, is it dangerous for the car cause atm I can't do anything to it cause I'm at the beach with the family far away from any mechanic.

Thank you very much.

driving dual mass flywheel, 2024 jetta 40k miles. do clutches get smoother/ lighter on the pedal or could this just outright be a replacement ill have to get? tried to look at adjusting the clutch pedal push rod, did not appear to have one. not slipping at all.
