Is this ok or should it be changed

I am giving the engine a once over as it has only done 42k since new with mot certs to back up

The clutch is stamped 2003 and the car had done 27k according to its mot cert

So I assume that the clutch is 17 years old and done about 15k, the car was off the road between 2009 and 2016

It has only done 7k since 2006

Personally I’d just change it now. They are cheap and a huge pain in the butt to change once it’s in the car

[steeley]

that was my main worry, getting it back in the car and it being no good

 

thanks

I 100% agree for what they cost, and the work involved in changing it... best change it.. also those springs do "weaken" over time so its not just the friction material wear you are concerned about.

 

As a side line I always change the primary gear oil seal too for the same reasons its a pain to change it later if it is 17 yrs old and springs a ;leak after the rebuild
