Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Gearbox oil is spec'd for changing at 10years/96,000 miles (or used to be, check your manual) and most don't actually get done even then, but it's dead cheap (£100?) so no bad thing to do it sooner.

Does anyone know if it is standard practice to change the gearbox oil when having the clutch replaced?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, My clutch appears to be getting heavier by the day, car covered 43k miles and I have driven 10k in 10 months, so thinking I should bite the bullet soon. Does anyone know if it is standard practice to change the gearbox oil when having the clutch replaced? How often do others have their engine oil and filter changed plus coolant system flushed and replaced? James.

POST 2Original post

Its a simple enough job to change the gearbox oil in situ so you needn't wait for a clutch change. It is generally recommended by those in the know that you change the engine oil and filter every year. Coolant is usually done on a major so every four years.

POST 3Original post

Gearbox oil is spec'd for changing at 10years/96,000 miles (or used to be, check your manual) and most don't actually get done even then, but it's dead cheap (£100?) so no bad thing to do it sooner.
