Clutch Warranties?

[Spook's_Skyline]

considering clutches are very much wear and tear items, i doubt they are covered by warranty, but my 8 month old excedy cushion button has just gone pop after barely 8 months

8 easy months, of mainly the missus driving (in traffic though i guess)

no burnouts, no clutch pops, barely even given a 1st/2nd/3rd gear thrashing

am i likely to get any joy on getting it replaced?

feels liek the diaphram has gone pop (just like my old heavy duty, which at least lasted 3 years)

missus was driving home, felt a pop, clutch is now on the floor, and barely disengages, its a struggle to get it out of gear and into the next

really dont want to have to fork out another grand to get it replaced

if i dont get any joy, will just go see jim and get it done right

If it's the diaphram then you have a reasonable case for a warranty job as i'd class that as a material failure as opposed to a failure due to abuse. Obviously depending on whether it was installed correctly blah blah blah, you know the drill.

So was it bought from and installed by the same place? That would make it a lot easier.

exedy offer no warranty on their clutches so it says on the boxes the clutches come in. especially not after 8 months. straight from the start if there was a problem they might have offered something but this far down the track you might have trouble

all good anyway

clutch petal had detached itself from the pedal box, apparently theres not much holding them in to begin with, so got it all reinforced and its good as new

this clutch is quite heavy, so no doubt it was putting a strain on the pedal with every use

Lucky, I was thinking that stupid circlip thing on the clutch fork
