Clutch Slur and in at Elms
 

Hello,
bit of advise and help needed. So my CSL is in at Elms. I have a warranty. I have clutch slur. We did a road test. They have updated software which I paid for. Clutch slur still present. :bigcry:

They have said that I need to pay for them to drop the gear box down ( £645) and if it need a new clutch pay etc. Fair if I have worn parts, but I'm just a bit concerned this might not fix the slur, and where this might end a paid " guessing. I've read the warranty book about what is covered etc. I have read the post from NZm3 on the GT1, although when I mentioned this they said "hard to interpret clutch where from readouts.

Does this seem reasonable to pay for the box drop and should I ask anything specific in proceeding in your experienced group view.

Service has been very pleasant so far there, nice courtesy car etc

thanks

Chris

Gearbox will need to be dropped, may as well change clutch while you are there.

Replace parts 1,2 and 3 in this diagram. Its what the clutch release bearing slides on, it becomes scored and rough and the bearing no longer slides smoothly leading to the clutch dragging or slurring...

This part should be replaced each time the clutch is replaced!

Make sure to replace the bearing as well, should come with the new clutch kit.

Then follow NZ's description. On resetting clutch values/ curve etc.

I did the same thing a few years back,Csl was on 60k miles,clutch was good for another 60k miles,Warranty then paid for the whole lot including New flywheel and it's not slurred since.;)

Does anyone have a video showing a clutch slurring or can (clearly) describe what a non-slurring vs a slurring clutch is like?

barp...barp (no clutch slur)


barp..bbbbbbbbarp (clutch slur)

Did anyone else say this out loud and imagine they were gunning it in the csl?

Thats spot on,uncanny.:hahaha:

hahahaha I sounded like a VeeeeeeTecccccc when I said that out loud!!!

They have to cover themselves but the clutch bearings normally go 1st and that's how they get it on a warranty claim, they change clutch , flywheel as a matter of course.

They did on mine and most others I know of.

If it's deffo slurring I would take the risk and ask them to strip ;)

+1;)
