Q: Having problems with my clutch
The clutch on my car has been giving me trouble recently. I was driving and it was extremely difficult to get into gear. The clutch also felt like it was engaging sooner (as soon I step off the pedal) and there was more dead space. I was sitting at a light and shifted into first gear, after some difficulty, and the car lurched forward (like the plate and flywheel were engaged even though the pedal was pressed all the way in). Can this be fixed? Or does the clutch need replaced?
