| Description of the problem | The car has had the recall safety recall s34 / nhtsa 16v-302 manual transaxle clutch pedal performed back at 30,000 mi. Clearly dosent fix the pressure plate issue, as i'm an sure this is what happened when i was getting tires installed and the state inspection at a ntb shop. When you hit the pedal the clitch does not disengage, meaning the clutch is always engaged and you cannot shift gears. I personally inspected the clutch system from the pedal to the clutch arm and can see the clutch disengagement arm moving which leads me to believe that the pressure plate spring is broken. I have tried to contact the local dealer here in roanome, va to no avail. Sounds like i will be doing the clutch and related parts myself, so i figured i would get my complaint in incase someone wants to inspect parts as they get removed. The vehicle had this failure while moving slowly in a shop to be put on a lift to have tires installed. No photos yet, but will be getting them soon. |
