Clutch & Warranty
Discussion
well just had a call from the dealer, my 99 4.5's clutch has broken (thought it was the slave cylinder) something to do with the fingers broken off. The friction plate was 60% worn at 20K miles (not bad) WH have agreed to pay 50%of the bill because of "betterment" I didn't think that was bad. Missed all the sun over the last week though!

. ...was bilding up to making exactly the same announcement. M40 yesterday, clutch went. Lots of fluid running down the pedal - therefore, I'm hoping that it is just the master cylinder seal.
I've got exactly the same warranty holder and still waiting for the diagnosis from dealer. If it's more complicated, I'd really be hoping that this is covered.
However, on a more basic note - is this something that I should've spotted beforehand ? To be honest, I really didn't notice any difference at all in the clutch movement until it went. I know that 3 days beforehand when hoovering the driver's footwell that there wasn't any noticable leakage. Would like to think that if this is spottable, then it's something that I could look out for in the future.
