Default Just Quick Help Fast

No flaming no stupidity I just need a quick answer for TODAY, most of you know my clutch blew out or whatever (I wasnt racing when it blew, belive it or not just driving normal) now if the dealership asks me why is the clutch burned, what should I tell them?? I do have a history of taking it in about 2-3 times for clutch problems and their exact words were "Hey man we hear the sounds, but until it breaks, unfortunately as bad as that sounds, we cant fix it" so, when they why is the clutch burned, what should I say?

Usually when I see a burnt disc, that tells me one of 2 things.

1. The person does not know how to properly use a clutch and has fried the disc.
or
2. The clutch no longer can hold the power its given and slips.

Since youve taken it to them before, they dont have a record of that? Or you never got one to cover your ass incase something like this happens? If you have proof of it, and not just someones words, tell them to give you the answer, the clutch is the problem and has been for some time.

If you have had a previous problem that has been documented then it should'nt be a problem at all. They WILL run a service history on it when you arrive to see what other work may have been done at another dealer in the past. just be honest with them.
