i totally agree

hmm...i think i had the clutch replaced about 5 years ago. medyo nagbababad ako sa clutch when driving, but i feels it's quite premature, since weekends ko lang siya ginagamit.

in any case, mahirap nang masiraan sa daan...gastos na naman :p

5 years is long enough kung babad ka magclutch lalo sa traffic. pwede na yan palitan.

question: given that may dragging clutch nga, is the car still driveable, for short trips (<5km)? i may need to use it kasi this weekend...

ok lang saglit lang naman gagamitin. wag lang patagalin. My neighbor had the same problem and didnt bothered to have it repaired and after more than a year of using it everyday tinirik na sya eventually due to overheated clutch disc and worn out pressure plate. ayaw kasi pumasok yun cambyo kahit na napalitan na yun master and slave cylinders.

Pwede pa naman gamitin yan kung dragging clutch lang, un nga lang sa tulad sinabi nya pwede mag init ng husto ang clutch at kakakalog kyan merong pedeng lumuag sa mga tornilyo mo or pede ma pwersa mga mounts.

Pero ako may ginagawa jan, pede mo adjust muna palayo ung clutch, yun nga lang medjo mahirap ipasok sa pirmera minsan.

update lang: i adjusted the idling this morning and drove with the AC off; nawala ung shudder, even if i was really light on the gas pedal. Try ko mag AC uli pag uwi..

kung ganun, mababa nga ang idling or di gumagana ang idle up ng aircon mo.

nagshudder uli :p di siya consistent eh, ok siya nung papunta akong megamall, up until pauwi na ako galing glorietta.

obserbahan ko uli; if the shuddering gets worse/more frequent, patignan ko na ung clutch
