take it to a workshop and speak to a good tuner ie boostworx or willall......they can give you some very handy advice......also they prob have come across a prob like this and would be able to tell you straight away rather then us trying to trouble shoot over the interwebz

sorry if i sounded a bit harsh mate.....didnt mean to come across that way.....but your way better off speaking to a good tuner rather then get some info from us.....in saying that no harm in asking tho...hope you get it sorted out mate

yeah Krishy is right only so much we can diagnose and its all guessing anyways

but when i saw 100,000k old clutch i though oh boy prolly time for a new one

[Madaz]

ah prolly shouldnt need replacing just yet but all depends on what power it was built for

Wouldn't hurt to try bleeding the hydraulics first.

Problem could be something as simple at the thrust bearing on the clutch has gone, not simple in labour to do

check that he hasnt put thicker oil in to shut it up

agree, crunchy synchos , try swapping out the oil in the gearbox, with some "Redline" brand oil. not shockproof but MTL (or suitable weight)

it will make your box like butter in the cold weather compared to the factory goop

shockproof (smirf blood is too slick for syncro meshing to work)

it will also bring the temps down on the tranny in hot weather drastically, I can get a group buy price on it if we can get a decent order ? I've used it for 20 years without drama in any car

if not then try the clutch spigot bearing , and disk, springs in the hub

a worn bushing on the throwout fork can create too much free play for clean disengagement as well
