I recently had my clutch go out. The mechanic replaced it and showed me the old clutch. The clutch lining was completely torn up and gone and it was evident. I drove it for about 2 weeks, very easily.

I was careful not to be too with it and all.
After 2 weeks I was stopping at a stoplight, shifted down from 2nd to 1st and when I let the clutch out it just stayed down at the floor... I was able to start the car in gear and speed shift to 3rd. Then i drove it to the mechanic.

He said it was probably the clutch slave cylinder. We got one and he put it in. It leaked, Advance got us a new one. Then after he installed that I went to pick it up. As i drove off it was kind of shuttering when I let off the clutch as it engaged. It vibrated a lot as it was engaging.

I went back to him and said "This isn't right, it doesn't feel normal and something is wrong"

He told me just to drive it for a day and see what happened. I went to work at 3 and drove home afterwards. Had to stop to drop off a friend on the way but when i pulled back on the highway it started to shudder and vibrate while i was accelerating. I had to accelerate very slowly and it wouldnt shudder, then the car just stopped getting power. I can shift the car fine but the clutch isn't engaging to the engine.

I towed it BACK to the mechanic and told him what happened. He said it is probably either
A) Clutch came apart again, bad clutch.
B) Flywheel is warped and needs to be replaced.

He said it has a "Double Flywheel" which I know deisels have but I have never heard of in cars. We left it with him and he's going to open it back up and look at it. If he finds that the clutch is bad I think it is under waruntee for like 1 year, 3k miles. Anyone have any opinions? I think I shouldn't have to pay for labor but new flywheels can be very expensive. (Near $500 where i found)


Any opinions?
