when i first got my car, i took it to a mechanic and had them overlook everything and see what i needed to replace or fix. one of those issues was my clutch, which they said i needed to replace. now, a year later, i still ahven't replaced it, and it is still running the same. however there is a slight hesitation/shudder at low end power. i feel like this is just normal when the car is cold and for a car with low power.

 

my question is, if my clutch feels about the same as it did a year ago, there is no way that needs replacing right? it would have gone out or gotten worse by now correct? i think i'm going to replace my o2 sensor in the next few days as i have heard that that may cause the hesitation in the low end.

 

and i have tightened the free play in the clutch, and it is still the same.

Clutches can be funny like that; it all depends on how you drive. Personally, I am not very easy on my clutch, but alot of people are. I had a friend whos dad had an old diesel benz, with 350K+ miles on the odometer, that still had the original factory clutch in it, and it still grabbed fine. He was a truck driver and diesel mechanic, so he knew how to take care of his clutch, and it showed.

 

This guy was probably the dead last in the book for BS factor, too.. I believe virtually everything I have ever heard out of this guy's mouth, because plenty of it has been proven true. Not just some dude who told me a story once, heh.
