hi there. i got a 2012 city MT and it has clocked 56000 kilometers till date. facing an issue and need honest advice from you guys here. travelled to pindi thi june and futher ahead went for a drive to murree with family. some road was blocked so i had to take an alternative route which ended up in an impossibly narrow street which had an almost impossible incline. it was the one within the city population, none on the road. there was another car infront of me which was doing stop and go and logically every time i had to brake as well and use the hand brake and all to rev the engine and shoot it up on the start. this obsviously took a toll on the clutch and i could smell the carbon smell quite many times. Since then, the car has started to produce a sound on pressing the clutch. i mean when on idle, and clutch pressed, engine sound is perfectly normal. when clutch is pressed, it changes and gives a whizzing sound. i showed it to Amjad motorxpert in pindi who just on releasing the clutch said that the plate has to be changed ASAP, and before it damages he pressure plate
now i m a hypermiller as some of the ppl here know so, and i have been extremely easy on the clutch all my life. ran a platz for more than one lac kilometers and sold it with the same clutch plate. so how is it possible that mine has been damaged after just one encounter ?? is is possible. the clutch took beating for less than say 8 minutes, that too ocassionally in between for almost 10-15 seconds each. i also feel the response of the car is not linear, sometimes it jerks on clutch release, soemtimes it doesnt. i have even recorded the engine sound and anyone who can kindly help me i can send him the clip on whatsapp. google says its the clutch release bearing,he says its the clutch plate. what is it ? and interestingly, the sound of AC also has changed when the compressor kicks in. its a little different engine sound when compressor is on. how does clutch relate to a compressor ??? need answers and solutions guys. worried a lot. thanks @fazalwahab11375
