Default clutch replacement issue.

Hi guys,

I got my clutch replaced by the dealer because the car was shaking while engaging the clutch pedal. However, it runs smooth now and no problem with the clutch but I think that the car isn't aggressive as before. I don't no if I am just imagining or it is real. Also, some times there is a sound, which I think it is from exhaust. Therefore, I don't no if any one has experienced the same problem or they didn't do a good job, or its just like that. BTW the car is 2013 GS and I have a really low mileage on the car.

Thank you, waiting for replies.

You don't give us enough info to reply back anything useful. And you probably did not need your clutch replaced anyway, based on what you did tell us.

For the less power sensation, you're like many out here, you don't fully fill out your profile, so we don't know where you live. Why is this important? We can't comment about weather (heat causes the engine to pull timing, etc.)

As far as the rattle, they could have twisted the exhaust slightly, but you need to tell us more about it too. Meaning, does it do it only when accelerating, all the time, at certain RPMs, etc.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but can't offer a medicine until we understand the sickness better

Fixed!

I would also need a lot more specific information. Exactly what do you mean by "not as aggressive as before"?

A new clutch on a 2 year old car with low mileage is very unusual!

Do you have your foot in the injectors all the time, or was there a defect in the clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing?

I am located in indianapolis and the weather is getting warmer. The sound I get from the exhaust (I think) can we heard when the car is not moving (idle) only.

Thank you for the reply.
