Not to worry, pinaka mahal na siguro damage nyan change tranny oils. Next time, if possible don't depress clutch while it is still wet or submerged, to avoid any other part damage.

ungas, isn't it common advise to rev the engine while car is submerged? so water does not enter tail pipe and to avoid stalling? then definitely one will depress clutch. so surely one will depress th clutch pedal. what's the proper thing to do?

drive in the lowest gear possible (or maybe in low-range) so you dont need to depress the clutch pedal. you could shift gears without using the clutch assuming you can match the revs exactly, but that's bound to cause more harm than good for most people. you can shift into neutral without clutching relatively safely.

fundy::: On some vehicles, there is no need to rev it high, normal engine rpm can prevent water sipping in your tail pipe and avoid stalling. Like splerdu explained, drive it in your lowest gear, let the vehicle crawl. At a stand point or heavy traffic scenario, there is no need to stay close the vehicle you're following. Minimizing clutch use, and sometimes it could help if you raise the rpm by just stepping on the gas pedal.

help peeps.
i hear a "grinding" noise when my car is idle, but it dissapears when i depress the clutch.
whatcha think peeps??:P

benchph1::: Baka naman po clattering sound ng clutch release bearing yung tinutukoy nyo? The grinding noise should only be heard when a gear is engaged and the vehicle is in motion, may sira na ang trannys. Pero kung grinding noise during idle and lessens when the cltuch is pressed, only one thing comes into my mind, clutch release bearing is not properly mounted.

yup yup tumpak sir ungas....i can only hear it when idle and the noise dissapears/lessens when i depress the clutch pedal. my car is already 6 years old,
although the clutch is not yet sliding, palitan ko na ba clutch disc?
