SMG/Clutch Issues

[bildo]

Just wanted to let you all know I went to pick the car up tonight and the problem is resolved! :thumbs:

Ended up buying a few different parts and carrying out everything mentioned in this thread and what I could find online.

Never thought I was gonna see the end of it, was so satisfying to do an S5 shift without waiting about 4 seconds for it to go into gear!

Only slight niggle I have is there seems to be a lot of vibration in the SMG gearstick, before it had no real feeling but now I can feel as soon as I start accelerating the gearstick has a vibration to it. The faster I go, the more I can feel it. Anyone got any ideas what might be causing it?

Other than that, it's spot on!

did you replace fly wheel??

Nope, it was in good condition and I didn't see any need to replace.

Is the flywheel likely to be the cause? It's a constant vibration through the entire rev range but it can only be felt through the gearstick, feels absolutely fine otherwise.

could be when you say it looked fine did they check for play?? How many miles on the car has it been driven hard for those miles??

Yeah it was checked for play and said to be in good nick, the clutch wasn't all that bad but they said it needed changing so I imagine if the flywheel did need changing they would've said.

Car has done 55k, I can count for about the last 15k with myself and the previous owner and it wasn't driven particularly hard by either of us. Have the occasional blast but never been to a track or anything.

Nothing else you think could be the culprit?

Mmmmmm....not really....If I were you I would just drive it like you stole it and enjoy it! Prob nothing wrong with it....Just wait for something to break again!! lol

Hard to diagnose something like that without being in the car....TBH

Would misalignment of the prop shaft cause anything like this?

[cantfind1]

Yep could do...
