Alfie236 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Anyone ever had a issue with a spec clutch, sometimes when the car is hot it doesnt always disengaged, it also sometimes feels lazy whilst changing gears? Cheers Alfie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3 silver gt Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Yeah I know exactly what you mean because I have the same and it's killed my gearbox, i don't .ike these clutches there shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 A lot seem to have problems with them. Incorrect tolerances in the thickness of the pads, damage to the input shaft, springs snapping. There’s a lad on Facebook where it’s also rubbed into the bellhousing too.

Hmm guess it's time for a different clutch from a different manufacturer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BMX-RIG Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I had similar issues with mine, so got it changed, however there were no issues visable on the clutch. The only issue that was mentioned was that shaft had run dry of grease even though it was greased when first fitted, which could have have stopped it from disengaging.

I put my old one back in, i was unaware at the time but the one i removed was a TRD one. Not sure whether regreasing the shaft might have helped? While the box was off though i thought best to just rule it out as the car was annoying to drive. It was in the car for 2 years roughly and drove fine for most of the time, but over the summer it began to get worse. Since changing its allot heavier to press, but has a more progressive feel. Mich better for daily driving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
