Ive got a new Helix clutch, new release bearing and lighten fly but sometimes the car doesnt always release properly from 1st gear. I spoke to a friend who is also a mechanic and he said thats the characteristics of the clutch surely thats not right??

Just taken the box out of my Altea 2.0 TDI & I'm pretty sure the DMF is phucked! It seems to have end float, ie, you can seperate the two parts slightly - I don't think this should be happening!! So, suggestions for the best place (price) to get a replacement. Cheers.

Right Types of Clutch Plates ; Paddle/Puck or Button These clutches are sometimes quite unusually shaped and have relatively small areas of friction lining on each paddle. This serves to reducing the overall contact area acting upon the flywheel when compared to a full-face clutch. With no...
