Hi All,
I’ve been told that I need a new clutch, and both quotes I have so far are for over 3 grand (supply and fit). Just wanted to make sure that this seems about right or if there are any non-OEM alternatives? I’ve also been quoted over a grand for the gearstick knob (which snapped while trying to engage reverse). Is it possible to use a non-OEM item? I was able to put the gearknob back on (without the reverse selector) and use the car for a week before it went into a specialist (being very careful not to hit reverse instead of 2nd!).
The symptoms of my clutch issue are odd - it’s impossible to engage any gear until the car has been running for around ten mins in the morning. I can then use 3rd for the first part of the journey and then all other gears with no issue soon after. It’s then fine for the rest of the day. A fellow Coupe GT owner on here posted a thread about clutch fluid getting contaminated and solidifying - could it be that?
Cheers!
