I had a funny thing with my clutch a year ago, the pedal kind of jumped when disengaging. By the time it was booked in to have it checked, it had stopped doing it and the Suzuki garage had the car for a full day in the workshop and out on several test drives but couldn’t find anything wrong.
Fast forward to last weekend and a lot of off-roading and steep hills on tarmac and on Saturday afternoon I had judder when the clutch just bit in first gear about 3 times, especially when slipping the clutch. After that I was careful to try to minimise clutch slip and the next day no judder.
My Gen 4 has done 33,000 miles.
It all looks like a worn clutch plate, which isn’t covered on the warranty. It might be contamination (water or oil) or the flywheel, this might be covered.
So here is the dilemma, if it’s clutch I want to fit an aftermarket heavy duty clutch, but not sure which one and my guess would be that the Suzuki garage won’t fit anything other than standard parts.
So do I get the work done at my local friendly/family garage and get a better clutch, taking a chance on some more serious or do I book it in at the Suzuki garage?
Has anyone a recommendation for an updated heavy duty clutch?
