Clutch warranty

wow your not the only one, at 4000 miles my clutch went and are trying to get me to pay for it, im fighting it, also my shift fork broke and they said they wont warranty it either

 

does mitsu still have your car? i dont want to pay for it and then not be able to fight it and get my money back, but i also need a car already

 

I doubt they will let you keep the old one... They will tell you that the actual price is x-the old trade.... Which is what you are actually paying for now....
In other words....they keep the old and you pay less.... But you can try....

 

most wearable parts are covered by 12/12.
brakes, alignment, clutch

useless you flat out destroy it

 

Personally, I would request they give you the old Clutch assembly that they removed during the replacement work and have an independent shop do an inspection of it. Let them give you their opinion. If you want, take it to two or three seperate shops on a Saturday and get reports from each shop. That way you have the proof/documentation you need to present a case to Mitsu North America.

yea its by law that they should let you see the part its posted in every shop then you can have an another mechanic inspect it for defect...

and by the way the dealer should loan you a car if the repair would take more than a day...thats how i do it when everytime i bring my car to the dealer for repair...

 

i sowwys :cry:

 

You can present a case, but its plenty possible to burn out a clutch that time period, You can do it in a day to be honest. And its not nothing to due with how well you can drive a manual. Some clutches are just different.

Ive been driving manuals for years, but I borrowed my buddies sentra and burned out his clutch in about 5 miles. Im definitely not new to manuals, but its a different style of clutch.

 

bullshit on you burning out a clutch in 5miles

 

/\+1

when you borrowed his car, how many miles and how old is the car?

 

At the time it was fairly new, but that beside the point. The point I was trying to make is they arent all the same.

 

Wow, you're pretty awesome.

you're right it wasnt 5 miles, it was 1.7, i just mapquested it.

Anyway, i wasnt trying a fight, nor did it warrant your comment. It happened. I mean really, do you honest think ive been waiting for the opportunity to lie about burning out a clutch?

 

i have drivin my car hard believe you me from burn outs to peel outs only burned out once my clutch is perfectly fine and my brother who wwas in japan drifting a s14 sr20det even said my clutch is awesome stil he said a lil high but my clutch was high when i got the car brand new

 

I understand that it's a wearable part but a clutch shouldn't wear out in 12 months or 12k miles.
