Idrees Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Was the clutch in good condition, did you check the springs on it? I had a similar problem with an Exedy paddle clutch and it turned out the centre spline was loose, even though it was brand new.Have you bled the clutch? It may be worth checking as this can cause it to be weird too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Yeah that could have an effect but it would slowly appear over time, I didn't think it could suddenly occur. However if they removed this off the gearbox when fitting the clutch (highly unlikely) then that could be the issue. You need to undo the gear selector on the gearbox iirc and you can then move it to a different position to see if its makes a difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
