Heavy duty clutch needed

[milenko192]

14,500 miles less than 5 mths old and my clutch is bad. Gotta be replaced gm refuses to do anything. Dealer wants 1275.00 to fix with the junk that was in it. If im gonna replace a clutch in a car this new i wanna do it with something more substantial. Looked everywhere i could think of and cant find any clutches for this car. Am i out of luck or what. 1.4turbo 6spd.

Do you think the clutch may be defective; or do you believe that you may have contributed to its premature failure. "Note" Not trying to suggest that you may have caused the problem: Another member just recently reported a catastrophic clutch failure that appeared to be a component failure. The dealer initially determined owner responsible for repairs; then later determined owner not responsible for cost of repair.

The OP stated in another thread that he is well acclamitized with manual trans, so going off of that a defective clutch is a high probability.

Maybe you could get another dealer or a service engineer to look over the clutch?? There's always that slim possibility the dealer sees an easy way to make some extra money (customer pay book time + parts vs warrenty time). Not saying that's what's going on but it is possible more so if this isn't your 1st manual and they know that.

either way hope things get resolved for you, that is a real bummer and as the other members have posted there are some alternatives
