Clutch started to slip under WOT in 4th and 5th gears after ~30k miles. Had it replaced under warranty, and ever since I got it back, I've been having issues:
1. When I first got it back, I nearly put my foot through the floor bc the pedal was soo incredibly light. The clutch has gotten heavier over the next 1000 or so miles.
2. I hear a grinding/whooshing/buzzing noise occasionally when under maybe 60% or so WOT. The dealership said this was a loose heat shield and they tightened that up this past weekend when I took it in again.
3. The worst/most annoying issue I've been having is that the clutch doesn't seem to have the same dis-engagement point as it did before. Basically when shifting, as I'm coming off the clutch, it feels like it is still engaged for like "1/2 inch" or so. This is causing my shifting to be very jumpy, sometimes I'm over revving as I shift, and just overall very Noobish shifting feeling. I've been driving stick for over 5 years, and before the replacement I had become pretty smooth at shifting the car. This passed weekend at the dealership, they told me that the Technician and Service manager both drove the car, and it all seems fine. Well, no disrespect, but I am the one who has been driving the car and its not the same and something feels wrong. They said there is really no way to adjust the pedal feel without "compromising the longevity of the clutch".
Someone please offer an Idea/Solution. I almost, dare I say, dislike driving my car now bc it just doesnt feel right, and I dont know what to do:shakehead:
