mickq Member 740 Member For: 21y 8m 26d Posted 27/01/06 02:20 PM Share Posted 27/01/06 02:20 PM A mate of mine got a no questions asked Ford warrantee new clutch after he killed his in just 11,000km.A clutch is always hard to win an argument over since 20 seconds of abue can do serious damage - but that amazed me!Whats interesting is we both drive hard - me a bit harder than him (by normal standards I drive very hard), and mine lasted 2 years and 35,000km no problem.I think chances are you either had a dodgy clutch, or you are dragging the clutch when you accelerate while you take off.

The quickest way to fry a clutch is to release the pressure at high revs.A leaking oil seal can cause the same problem, but you'd more than likely see oil around the bell housing.You're not gonna know what to do until the clutch comes out, then you'll see what the cause isRuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
