Is anyone having problems with their tranny/clutch?

Post by abyss gt »

I have 52,000KM on my GT and my clutch is completly gone. The dealership says its "normal wear and tear". I have never heard of any clutch needing replacement this early . Does anybody else have any problems with their clutch? How about tranny grinding noise when costing in 2nd and 3rd gear?

i believe the clutch issue was with the 2zz VGT's and XRS's. doubtful the dealer will do anything to help, but good luck none the less!

My Vibe GT has 30,000 miles on it and the clutch just started to go. Of course I received the same response regarding coverage (that its NOT) ... Plus they want me to agree to pay $750 to have them confirm that its not covered (the entire job would cost me over $1400) --- I am currently battling with GM as I don't think that is right since clearly its a problem with their product rather than my driving - given the fact that so many people have noted this problem. I have a Toytoa with over 100,000 miles and I JUST relpaced the clutch last year. I suggest that as many people as possible contact GMAC. The number is 800-762-2737.
