I've always had a niggling doubt about the state of the slave, at least it puts that thought at ease. For what it's worth, the clutch pedal on mine has always been pretty light, just biting point right down on the floor. Maybe it's characteristically heavier in the diseasels but I've never driven one to say. |

As part of my research Ive looked at hundreds of leasing deals and dozens of reviews of new models. The only car that repeatedly takes my fancy is the newest Mazda 6 because the interior looks like a tidy place to be. Got to be an automatic next time too for maximum waftability as Cardiff traffic is getting ridiculous. By the way, the new clutch feels good. Light as a feather, sensible bite point, no juddering on take up! Don't know how I lived with it for 2 years. |

My clutch is as light as a feather with 212,583 miles on the clock.

The release bearing on my ZT190 was making ominous noises
After changing the clutch I was amazed how much lighter the pedal was. It took a bit of getting used to! I hadnt realised how heavy the old one was.

I have bitten the clutch bullet as well. My clutch realse baring has failed, so have booked the old girl in for the 30th oct and will be £650 lighter. Should get 9 years of service out of it like the previous one.
