Just worried the dam thing will go again next year after the warranty...
How many actually break, are we talking a minority but regular occurrence?
It seems there are quite a few topics on multiple forums around the world..
Hoping it's just crap Suzuki bearings and aftermarket bearings are better...
Stories online of 7k miles and it happens!??

Shouldn't be any problem. Mines been done a couple of years and I've towed a small caravan.
It actually went better/easier after it was done so there must have been some sort of power loss there.
I notice most of the replacement bearings are of the sealed type which indicates to me the problem is/was poor lubrication.
At least you didn't have the leaky propshaft problem as well lol

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

Let's hope it's all good, wondered if it's had gearbox problems already, the garage said the clutch looks brand-new but all the edges are crumbled so possibly a cheap one has been put on recently. Let's hope this is a permanent fix... My luck with cars is terrible, so far in 6 months it's had an abs problem, death wobble which I ended up fitting new kingpins, panhard bushes and 4 trackrod ends. and 2 sets of discs. One halfshaft seal is still leaking and it's mot time next week!?

How many miles has it done? Gearbox aside it seems a lot of wear??

It's done 60k, bought it at 54k from a dealer for £4750. It was expensive but the right colour and trim...
Is it normal for the gearbox to feel a little tight after a clutch and rebuild?
Maybe they haven't adjusted the clutch back?
