I'd like to know this as well.

The garage told me there was a slight judder, but i've done another 20,000 miles since and it hasn't got any worse. It's hardly noticable sometimes. (Touch Wood!).

Hi,

Id only think about having the clutch changed when it starts to slip under load eg going up a hill,when towing a trailer or when acceleration.If its not slipping id leave it for now.

A good garage should be able to replace a clutch within a matter of hours as a rule.

Not sure of prices though.

Hope thats of some help.

Cheers..

Hi all, Yep totally agree only replace when it starts to slip, slight clutch judder never hurt anyone, bad clutch judder will give you frothy blood!!!! Replace when it slips or if judders gets bad!

Laters Lewie. :D

There are a lot of threads on this - do a search for more views.

Mine juddered in 1st a bit, and started slipping at around 80000 miles after thrashing it from a standing start.

But I had not changed it a year later, and it really only slipped if doing the same thing.

Can get non OEM clutchs for about £150 and same for fitting.

Ive not noticed it slip yet but I had seen a few post about them at about 100K and mine is 92k so I was just enquiring so I can budget for it if it's likely to go sometime soon.

Just being a good boy scout and being prepared.

Many thanks

If its any use, ive got around 120k on mine at the mo on original clutch and it is juddering slightly when cold, which is quite common (from reading this forum), but its all down to the cars history and life etc
