new clutch

[martint2k4]

when im at the lights or somethin and i put my car into 1st sumtimes it doesnt go in proper or the car chudders, when i give it some revs it doesnt really go anywhere, is there any chance this could be the clutch going?

Can be clutch issues yes, is it also hard to get into reverse at times??

Clutch on my GSi is on its way fast so I had to adjust it to get it into gear as I couldnt even shift it in & reverse always crunched!

[martint2k4]

yeah its hard to get in reverse sometimes, is it dear for a new clutch?

[PaulW]

Depends what engine you have?? Mine is gona cost anything from £100 to £214 for just the clutch

My old 1.4 Corsa cost me about £40 for a clutch, but none of these prices are Vauxhall prices...

lol how cheekys this, asked the g/f\'s dad would he do it for me, he sed £60 for the clutch, n £50 for fittin it, cheeky badger, i seen EBC clutches on the net for £40, but i think i mite jus splash out sum more cash n get a black diamond racing clutch for £130, that way i know it can stand a lil bit more strain

Hi

I have a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 SXI 1990 16v

Noob needing help, i have a similar problem, sometime i can't get car into first.. Not all the time only every so often i can also have it when clutch pedal is all way to floor i try to put into reverse and get crunching noise (like you do when changing gears without using clutch properly)... I has got a full service history and has 70k on clock don't know if this is important but thought i would put it....

Also if i leave car in neutral and just push clutch up and down i get some feedback throu it feels like a clicking. only happens in certain places and never really noticed it while driving could be cause i not raising clutch as slow when driving and not paying that much attention to it...

Plz help a noob guys.. anything will be greatly recieved and i will always help back when i can...

Cheers Tom
