slipping clutch
my clutch keeps slipping!
i'm used to being halfway home before the other cars have even set off from the traffic lights, and then earlier i got undertaken by an old woman in a corsa !
do i need a completely new clutch or can i just change like one part of it?
because not being funny but i've had this car for 2 months and already i've needed new light casing, a new accelerator cable and had to have the power steering and heating fixed :/ .. my passenger window doesn't work unless you smack the door panel while pressing the button , and my air bags never work.
i don't have enough money to keep this car alive !
what's the cheapest way that i can fix it ?

its french, what do you expect thats why we love them though! because thats what makes a saxo!
clutches in saxo's from what i hear are generally shit, get an uprated racing clutch, hell you may not use it but you know the car will die before it does!

ive only ever, even looked at uprated clutches for jap cars, starlets 200sx etc and they arent too bad. but i wouldnt even guess a price for a saxo... i wouldnt expect it to be too much.
browse the net, but no doubt somone within the next 24 hours will be on here with better advice lol.

Lol to be fair, i don't care too much about the price, as long as it isn't ridiculous..
I just want to be able to drive properly! Literally the speed at which I pull away is ridiculous, I'm surprised I haven't started going backwards! And the revs I get is actually disgusting, lol..
I want to be able to beat people off the lights again
Thanks for the help anyways tho, guess i'ma have to go to a garage and get them to fit me a new clutch

i wouldnt say you are going to be looking more than 150-70 for a performance clutch, something to handle up to 200bhp would be more than enough iaf , and less that a 100 for a basic bog one, the gay bit will be going to a garage to have it fitted. or do it yourself, with a mate if you got the tools and space!
browse google for " performance saxo clutch " or something like that, you'll find something.

dont bother with a performance one, its not worth the money unless ur a track slag.

My Clutch keeps slipping, blatently on the way out. I'm going to see me 306 DT soon so need to stick it in a garage for the new owner before the sale.
