Clutch failure under warranty

Chazney

Need advice .. garage say driver error after 17 yrs driving never had issue before clutch was installed last April 2019 by them .. I now think faultily on their part as they discourage sending away part and put car bk together n sent me away no charge but no new appointment date etc ... I think if I’d of been braver / not so stupid last yr I would of gone straight bk as smell of burn remained in low gears

Sorry what, you had a clutch replaced in April 2019 and its now failed 16 odd months later?

Not sure if you are going to get this replaced for free.  I would take it to another garage, get them to check the fly wheel and clutch cylinder as well.

What is the make and model ? what mileage has it done ?

So the new clutch fitted last year was under the car's manufacturer warranty...? And now it's failed again. Still under the warranty?

Or you think there should be a warranty on the clutch replacement?

You've been driving around for 16 months with "a smell of burn"?

This. It may have needed a small adjustment but by continuing to drive with a slipping clutch you have worn it out. Indeed, you've done well to get it to last that long.

I would check the gear oil level, and clutch fluid level.
