Question about clutch wear and sound

ZInferno0248 · 03-21-2012, 04:25 PM

I've experienced this same feeling with a couple of other cars. The clutch gets heated up for the first time and then it feels softer thereafter. I believe it is normal. The contact point sometimes feels like it changes a little bit as well.

I would not worry about it too much. I am at 23,xxx miles on mine and it has been making the same noise for as long as I can remember it and clutch is fine.
