Throw out

My clutch is whining when I push it in at stops. Its either the throw-out or the clutch disc. Guess that isn't covered in the warranty either...

Guess they get you for new parts every 10k right?

Damien,

I had the entire clutch assy replaced under warranty, including the t/o bearing. The fingers were riding unevenly thus causing the problems. Take it in and see if they will cover. If it does not show signs of abuse they might cover, even though they might tell you it's a wear and tear item. Good dealers will be straight with you....I just happen to have a good one.
