Hi all,
I've just encountered the sticky clutch problem today. A bit of car background, 2010 RHD 6MT Sport bought in Sept 2013 with less than 2000km on the clock. First serviced at the dealer was around 2012 with 1700+km on the clock. Has never done any spirited driving in the past until it came to me.
Changed transmission fluid and rear diff fluid cos it was all dark brown in color. It's been a weekend car till now. It's got 12513km on the clock and its mean't to be driven like a Sports car should be. FAST but safe.
Today was a hot day and it was driven for 25 min at an average speed of 180 km/h. Oil temp reading was around 110 mark. At 5 min from destination clutch pedal was stuck halfway. After, I had cooled down the car because was in a meeting for 2 hrs came and started it back, clutch was still halfway down. Took it down to my local garage, and had the change tranny fluid change, it went back up on its own accord.
I called the dealer to ask the price of the GTR clutch fluid and was informed that its US$191 per litre. WTF. So any ideas are really appreciated in terms of other fluids to replace the GTR one. Thank you
