Hi all,
Just a quick question really, looking at getting a replacement clutch, has anyone had a clutch replacement and how much did it cost?

Hopefully it isn't too much, and any recommendations of places to do it would be great!

Mine was in the ballpark of 300 quid all in, VAT included. That was for a verto, if it makes any difference

Pedal is right to the floor and bites straight away.

How do you mean right to the floor?

 

A low bite is good?

No but usually a clutch on its way out has a high biting point!

you have more than enough places in the area to take it to, but sounds more like you need to bleed the clutch hydraulics

thanks for the reply, is there anywhere you would recommend around the Nuneaton area where I could take this or could I do it myself?
