Hey all my clutch was abit funny the other night.
I was wondering if warranty covers this, as i have the extended warranty and it runs out soon.
Or how much do you think it might cost otherwise?

Cheers

I would read the fine print on the warranty because the clutch is a wearing part and is most likely not covered, like brake pads etc... If you do have to get it done yourself you are looking at @ $1000.

No warranty will cover clutch and pressure plate.. They are classed as wear and tear items..:)


Biatch of a job too..:(

yeah what a pain to do but pretty easy once you've done it a few times

not 100% true.

I bought my magna from a ford dealer and under the used car parts warranty i got the clutch replaced as it was gone within 3 months of purchase.

cost me nothing

I've heard of people getting new clutches under manufacturers warranty before (not Mitsubishi though). Probably largely depends on the mood of the service manager and how much of a fuss you kick up.

I bought my old TH second hand with 22,000kms which was still under extended manufacturers warranty. The clutch shuddered so I took it to Penrith Mitsubishi & they said they would have to pull it apart to determine what was causing it. If it was due to a failure within the clutch (cant remember exactly what part), they would fix it under warranty but if was just wear & tear, I would have to pay. They said once it was pulled apart, if they determined they wouldnt cover it & I didnt want to fork out about $1200 for a new clutch, they would put it back together but I would be up for the labour cost for the remove & replace . Anyway, I blued about it to their manager saying the car had only done 22000k's & if he looked at the tyres & brakes, he could see the car hadnt been flogged (which he acknowledged). The result was they ended up replacing the clutch for free.

I ended up selling the car last year with about 80000kms (90% of which was my wife driving - it had a very easy life) & the clutch was shuddering again when cold. I have since been told the clutch on 3rd gens are too light for the power of the vehicle & in my experience, that would seem to be the case.

yeah, my te and tj both shudder when cold, the tj moreso. Once the clutch is warm, tis all good.

well at the time guys i was driving with one shoe on lol .
So i hoped it was that.

In conclusion i took the ralliart for a good old spin tonight and no problems what so ever. So i hope it was just the FAT foot with the shoe on makeing it feel like it was slipping.

Will keep you posted.
