Important! : slipping clutch - Saxperience

SaxGyalVTS · 5th March 2009, 02:48

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 ?

fix the clutch i mean , i can live with the rest ..
(well maybe not the airbags, but let's face it, it's a saxo, if i crash i'm going to die anyways!)

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!

Errrrrrr..
That sounds expensive..

Tontsy · 5th March 2009, 03:02

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.

SaxGyalVTS · 5th March 2009, 03:09

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.

errrr I'm a girl, lol, I'd rather not fit a clutch myself, lol.
I'd break it even more! haha..
oh dear

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

that will do, u will need new gearbox oil but id take it to a garage if u dont want to get hands on.

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.
