Hyundai Getz: The Clutch Issue Story

[Bossmonkee]

Hi Guys once again, Im reaching to all you tsikoteers who can provide me much needed help, so here goes, My Hyundai Getz has been with me for quite some time now and only recently, shifting gears has been quite strange and difficult, Whenever I change gears between 1st to 5th sometimes I dont really need to press the clutch all the way, sometimes I dont even press the clutch at all and I can still switch to the next gear (while car is running of course) and when it comes to reversing I sometimes need to give it a bit more effort to change the gear to reverse, and one thing I noticed as well is that everytime I accelerate in any gear I noticed that the car seems to be struggling, so question is, am I having a slipped clutch issue? A friend of mine told me that If I do have a clutch issue its better to have it adjusted now rather than wait for it to break down and have it fixed cos that will entail a lot of money, so another question would be how much am I looking at if I should have my clutch adjusted, and if worse case scenario that my clutch has been damaged and needs to be repaired, whats the cost on that one as well? (just a rough estimate)

I'm thinking between P2000 and P3000 for the clutch disk, release bearing and pressure plate. Labor siguro mga P500-P1000.

[sirkosero]

clutch issue nga yan. if you dont have it fixed right away, you are just asking for more potentially expensive repairs. pag gumasgas ang rivets ng clutch to the flywheel, you will need tp either replace the flywheel or reface. either way, expensive yun.

be prepared to shell out upwards of 5k. usual labor for clutch replacement is 2k-2.5k.

i had my ex-getz clutch replaced before.
cost me 8,000.00 servitek las pinas..... OEM parts, kasama na labor.

Just a few more follow up questions, cause I'm about to send my car to a shop for repairs and I would really like to avoid getting swindled into paying more than what I'm supposed to, anyway, like I mentioned I am experiencing some sliding clutch issues, but I noticed that like some suggested that I put my gear into 5th and see if it stalls, if it doesn't then its time to replace the clutch, well I put my gear into 5th, 4th or even 3rd and the car stalls and turns off, the only issue I have is that acceleration is difficult, so I guess my question is is there such a thing as just adjusting the clutch? maybe something just came loose or out of sync? and whenever a clutch replacement is needed, do I really need to replace the bearings, and pressure plates as well? is it possible that everything else is ok and its just the clutch disk that's having the issue?

P.s. sorry in case some of my questions seems medyo weird or noobish, you could say I wasn't born with a mechanical thumb

and just in case there are some forumers here from Bacolod City, are there auto shops you can recommend that are wallet friendly, cos the only place Im familiar is a place called Highway Tire Supply, and Hyundai Casa, and they charge an arm and a leg.

pwede pa naman i adjust ang clutch until such time na wala ng adjustment sa sobrang pudpod.

First try to have the clutch adjusted. The mechanic should be able to tell you if sagad na yung adjustment. If your car has done 100K kms, likely na dapat replace clutch disc, pressure plate & release bearing (CPR). Yes, it's suggested that you have all these replaced since if you just replace the clutch disc & pressure plate and not the bearing, after a few thousand kms baka umingay yung release bearing. Baba na naman ng transmission so it becomes more expensive.

[dr. d]

just with the symptoms you described, it would seem your clutch disks are in need of replacement. what else needs replacement, only upon opening, can they be determined... spring.. disk.. release bearing..
clutch repair is expensive. just opening up the thing already costs a good amount of money. that is why, when it is opened, they recommend replacement of items that might not yet need replacing.. like that clutch release bearing.
often, when opening, the bearing is replaced. period. whatever condition it is in.... because when it fails, the cost of replacement would be thrice the price of the part alone.
in clutch repair, labor sometimes is more expensive than parts.

clutch adjustment?.... i am not sure.. in some cars, the only adjustment that can be done, is the pedal free play. everything else is pre-set in design..

Well My best bet right now is Goodyear Servitek, they quoted me an amount for the entire clutch replacement


P 5900.00 (Includes the disk, bearings and plates)

P 2500.00 (Labor cost)

Total P8400.00

So question is, do you think this is a pretty good deal, or am I better off going somewhere or searching for the parts myself and just paying for the labor cost?

I have a similar problem and the problem tinakas ko yung car. Car ng brother ko. Thankfully wala pa sya dito.

We have a talyer but i cannot bring the car.

Ano cause pag downhill 4th gear biglang bumaba kph and kahit press gas ayaw accelerate and meron noise under parang sumasabit.

Pero thankfully after downhill nung flat road naging ok na accelerate ulit at nawala noise. But hanggang makauwi ako baba ulit kph and noise under car and i need to move the kambyo and ok na naman accelerate and no noise.

Is this a simple repair or big repair.

[nerraw]

Ganito rin problema ng Getz ko, parang ang hina mag accelerate lalo na pag paatras ano kaya pina repair ni TS.
