Default A Dragging Clutch...

Is it a dragging clutch when its hard to get into 1st gear when stationery - say at some traffic lights?

Just had a new LUK clutch fitted.

Also, it sometimes crunches into reverse.

MSD said i may have a dragging clutch issue when i last saw them in July/June but since then ive had a new clutch fitted...

my old one did that when the clutch was fucked. it was alright once moving, but a bitch to get into first at the lights. sometimes you'd dip it a few times and it'd be ok.

1.4 cvh btw.

nope.

Just clutch and thrust thingy.

I have a slight gearbox oil leak which is going to get seen to but i needed to take my car to the garage today for him to do a be of recon work before he booked in.

This is when i noticed the annoyance.
