Question About Clutch

[c5jimmy]

The bite point on my 1.8 C5 is odd.

 

It's as if it finds the biting point before losing and finding it again. It makes pulling away quite awkward as I cant be delicate and precise. If I try and pull away normally the car judders like it is going to stall.

 

Also, when I rest my foot on the clutch pedal really lightly I can feel the pedal almost vibrating or grinding.

 

The car accelerates fine and goes in and out of gears no problem.

 

Any advice?

Sounds like your clutch is on its way out

Youl need

1 x clutch kit = £100 to £150

2 x gearbox oil = £20

1 x nose cone for theust bearing £ 10 to £20

1 x labour £100 to £200 depending on where you go.

Try your local dealers for the clutch kit as weve had it in the past were out local dealers (town center citroen) are cheaper thean the local motor discount store.

Thanks for the pricing. :)

 

The clutch seems to have become worse today. It has started making a whining noise when I change gear.

 

When I push the pedal in (in neutral) it makes a funny noise then too. Like a mechanical humming noise coming from the engine.
