Clutch replaced but pedal is pretty light?

[Scottynic]

As title, got my clutch replaced but the pedal is really light compared to what it was.

Is this normal or is it just cos I have been driving my lotus for last few days?

cheers

I wouldn't worry as long as it's not slipping.

i had the exact same problem.. i thought i was just going crazy.. but i think its normal?

Yes, a new clutch is suppose to be light, as it starts to wear down, the clutch get heavier.

Yep, mine was replaced ~700miles ago, and is light as a feather compared to previous.

Mine is a heavy mother too, makes my leg ache in traffic, out of interest how much does a new clutch cost?

 

[Scottynic]

My clutch was £135 approx for parts and 6 hours labour. (meant to be 8)

Mine was £800 all-in including new master and slave cylinders (which caused the failure...) ~8 hours labour, from APS in Bracknell.

Where was this please?!
That's very cheap. Unless there's a 0 missing from the end...

I would roll my car all the way down to Dundee for a new clutch at that price.

The clutch was £135ish plus labour.

You can get a clutch kit on eurocarparts for £125.

I think in total for the clutch and fitting i was approx £400, I also got car serviced, new coil packs, and a sump done at the same time.

Has not been a cheap week!

Think mine was about £500 all in (including slave cylinder)

Mine too was super light after, took abit of getting used to. Great to be able to get the remapped power down though!

Just had my 1999 S3 clutch and flywheel replaced by Plymouth Audi, £1360 incl discount. Its a long old job by all accounts.
