IIRC, dealerships also charge roughly twice as much for the job. The point that the dealer work/new parts are covered by some level of warranty is valid, though.

Sounds good ... but keep in mind my car was a 1995 NSX and way out of warranty ... the work was done in 2014 or maybe 2013 and I paid for the original clutch to be replaced but once they did the work it was warrantied ... in other words I paid for the clutch but once they did the work the work itself was warranted for 12 months if I remember correctly whatever was wrong was covered under the warranty |

Or not. If you can live with / drive around the juddering, you could have tons of life left in the clutch. The dual mass springs seem to wear out a long time before the clutch disc itself does most of the time.

Yeah, it is more annoying than anything else. It's still perfectly functional, and if that is the problem, I'm less concerned that it's an omen of imminent failure.

I shudder all day at work. Oh, that probably doesn't help.

You might have some deposits of foreign material that need to be burned off too.

It hasn't been long enough that I don't think about it when launching anymore, but I haven't felt the symptoms.
When I forget about it then I'll know it's fixed.
