Bit of a strange one this.......................i always leave my car in gear, always have done, due to shite handbrakes( although this one is fine ) so when i get into my car, i depress the clutch on start up,SOMETIMES, when doing this the clutch will, suddenly drop as though its snapped the cable or something,and make a clicking noise, but all appears to be fine, (This concerns me), the car has had a renault clutch fitted 10,000 miles ago by hillpower, any ideas?

On one occassion, i started the car up, as usual, clutch depressed, and the car jumped forward and stalled as if it was in gear, kept trying to start it and it was in gear with the clutch depressed and just stalled, left it for a minute and it was fine? also did something very similar when i reversed once?

Any help much appreciated, is it a gearbox problem or clutch problem, or is it just something minor? would like to resolve it before anything serious happens.

Would my clutch be under any kind of warrenty still was replaced on the 29/11/2005

cheers

Sounds like a problem with the cable or pedal.

check the cable aswell, how many times has it done the big click and gone loose? mine did that like 4 times then the cable snapped, realised afterwards the click was each of the smaller wires that make up the cable snapping one by one! :lol:

aye def the pedal ...ratchet.


think its bout £30 for both pedal and cable tbh, worth changing both at the same time as well.
