    If it sounds too good to be true...


    For example, are Mr Clutch quoting the same job (two vs. three part clutch kit, does the car have a CSC which should be replaced at the same time, etc) as the others?

    Got a clutch done years ago by Mr Clutch. It left the car with a clutch shudder when taking off in 1st. They tried to resolve it with several revisits & I think if I remember they skimmed something to do with the clutch but to no avail. Never used them since.

    If it has rectified itself, more than likely a hydraulic problem, either leaking master cylinder or slave cylinder,
    Using it will have vented out the air bubbles in the system but it will reapear.
    Check below the dash at drivers side for wet marks around the inside of cylinder at clutch pedal and also bottom of gearbox between engine/gearbox joint
    If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it.
