Clutch, could be a lot of things, from throwout bearing to worn friction surface, etc. But need more info.
How many miles on the clutch?
Slips while in gear and uphill with load? (And, if so, how do you know?)
Slippage only when car is hot?
Did the slippage start recently (is it related to the "rattle")?
Does the car shift smoothly or are gears harder to get in/out of? |
I currently have 53k km on the car, owned the car when 19k since then. dont think the clutch has been replace or something... not sure.
Im sorry that I use "slip" to describe the rattle. the rattle happened when I matching clutch at 1st gear. of course when car is driven for 50~100km, and it happened when the first day I bought the car.
sent the car to dealership when I noticed the clutch rattle two years ago, but they think its the N52 ticking problem and fix it,(all parts of cylinder head) (N52 ticking wasnt my concern at the time but still happy that they fixed it)
