Re: question - GTV6 Clutch

[robert@xxxxxxxxx (Robert Abatecola)]

When I had my clutch replaced last year I also experienced the on/off
problem.  I brought my car back to the shop and they took care of it.  If I
remember right, the system needed to be bled.

I also went from the double plate clutch to a single and the feel is very
different.  The old clutch was firm, almost heavy.  The new one felt like
nothing.  I think part of the difference is simply that clutches tend to
get heavier as they wear.  The newer clutch has firmed up a bit since
replacement.
