Dealer has indicated this morning that the "clutch" is on its way out?
I find this incredible hard to believe given the amount of clutch travel I have +60% ... and I am an extremely excellent manual driver (no abuse or clutch slipping).
Could someone illuminate how a cold clutch operates fine and a hot clutch does not ? |
Yes. Clutch is like your brakes. The clutch material is like brake pads and pressure plate and flywheel are like your brake disk. When brakes get hot they fade. If your clutch is slipping it causing it to heat up too much like riding brakes down a hill. Eventually they fade. In your case clutch would slip more. That is my guess but 1M has clutch temp warning. Surprised that didn't come on??!! |
Agreed that there should be a clutch temp warning that would come on...
I have never heard of a clutch glazing over due to normal use. I totally understand if the clutch was glazed due to slipping or high rpm damage.
Is it possible that the portion of "glazed" clutch material will wear away with time and the. The remainder of the clutch will operate normally ?
Similar to burning off glazing on break pads
