Hi peeps have any of you had this trouble with your clutch? When im driving along its fine no problem but when i stop and need to do a manover it can be a pain in the arse to get into reverse.Im not having to rag it in to gear its just a bit stiff (pardon the pun)...lol....And ive noticed that if im at a stand still and just go between first and reverse back and too theres a dull thud as it goes into either gear.Any ideas???? The cars only got 58 on the clock buyt it has has a remap and i have towed a caravan for the last 15,000 miles,not continually but once a month or so for the last coulpe of years.

.

Do you have the same issue selecting the gears with the engine off?

Im pretty sure theres no problem with the engine off,but i will check to make sure.What do you think it could be?

Any ideas????

If it doesn't happen with the engine off it points more to the clutch.

Will it be a dual mass one? its on a 53 plated 1.9 tdi pd engine

Yes

Great more expense......lol...

Don't know if this helps mate but I've just had a Sachs clutch and DMF fitted at Lion Garages (of which there's a few dotted around the midlands area) for only £630, which is a lot cheaper than the next nearest quote I had.

My car was doing the exact same thing you described before I had it done...

Its not slipping yet so i think i will wait a bit until it starts to or get worse getting into reverse.......
