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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi- I have a 99 C2 with 95k, the clutch has about 65k due to a previous replacement. It is a little sticky to find 1st, other than that-no issues, and no slippage. What are the symptoms that lead to a clutch job on these cars? Thanks in advance for your answers.

POST 2Original post

Besides slippage or noise, normally you would see a change in the clutch engagement point as well as an unexpected increase in the pedal effort.

As above - but note that increased pedal effort may also be an issue with the clutch helper spring. Maybe also consider clutch judder/chatter as a warning sign. If I remember right, my clutch went at closer to 100k miles.

If it's worn it will initially slip in high gear under load (like going up a hill). As it gets worse you will start noticing it slipping in lower gears.
