I drive a MK5 Golf 1.9 TDI.
My clutch seems to be nearing to the end of its life...
The bite is really high and the car seems to shudder more when taking off from bite.
Today there was a bad burning smell I assumed it is from the clutch.
I need to go to uni tommorow.
I wanted to know what is the worst that can happen if the clutch was to go on the motorway?
If the clutch pressure plate shattered at high speed it would easily destroy the gearbox and flywheel. If you were very unlucky it could take the crankshaft (therefore the engine) with it!
I wouldnt risk it, get it repaired ASAP.
