hi a have a 2001 golf mk4 gti 1.8t 150bhp aum engine
clutch slipped last week for the 1st time since i have owned the car (few weeks) then about half an hour later i was unable to select 3rd or 5th gears. i could engage them by balancing the revs but not using the clutch. im assuming that this is my clutch causing this problem??after i left the car to call for approz 10minutes i was then able to select 3rd and 5th and now wen ever i change gear more than about 6 times in 30 seconds i cant select 5th until i allow the car to cool a little bit. i also get a clunking noise from the gearbox area every time i engage 1st gear.
there are threads on here suggesting gear selector fork being a problem, is this relevent to me?
also the car is running about 240bhp (approx 280pounds of torque) is there any clutch anybody could recommend to me?i dont want a race clutch because i dont want to have to start working out to be able to use it, and i dont want to have to change it every 6months! would a audi tt clutch fit?or a leon cupra r?
also flywheel, dmf flywheels u all slag them off on here, but has anybody tried a lightwieght steel or aluminium clutch?pros and cons to this other than faster reving and ruff idle? any help would be greatly apreciated cheers guys
