Slave Cylinder??
Hi all,
I can't even believe this, but I'm on the brink of having to have two clutches put in within 13,000 mi. of each other.
This chain out here (Dobb's) put in the last one, which went out with no notice. Now, this morning suddenly when I started the car, I thought smelled something burning, at first; but it went away. Right after I noticed I can't get into each gear smoothly.. When I got going, it was as if some of the gears simply weren't there anymore.. Then after I got back in the car this afternoon to drive it to the shop, the gears practically seemed normal again (all there and went in rather smoothly).
The place finally just called my back and said that he is leaning towards the clutch (which of course, is 1 month past warranty), but they cannot believe a clutch could go so fast. So he says the other possibility is the slave cylinder. He said they usually have a test they can run to see if one is needed, but with my car they aren't able to run the test? They want to first put a slave cylinder on it, and see if that fixes the problem.
Anyone have any thoughts on this, or have any idea how much this whole ordeal should run me?
I've got to know by 10 am tomorrow when the part arrives.
Thanks in advance for anything at all..
