#1: clutch judder/stiff pedal? Author: paulspug, Location: Spalding lincolnshirePosted: Wed Mar 14, 2012 10:36 am ---- hi ppl,
bought my 206 gti (2002) just over a week ago;but i didnt relise -too hell bent on owning one- that the clutch is pretty stiff when you press the pedal, that and it judders in 1st all the time .Again i was immune from noticing as i thought being a different car it was my fault adjusting to the driving position.
reading your forum it looks like a new clutch is needed, but will it make the pedal lighter to foot after a new clutch has been done, or is there a bigger picture? i.e. flywheel / slave cylinder will want looking at.
thanks

I filled my rear engine mount with silicone and now its 100 times better.
Its still there but i hardly notice it any more just a very slight rumble.
Still going to fit a new clutch when i get time but its so nice now compared to how it was.

Author: james180, Location: NottinghamPosted: Sun Mar 18, 2012 6:57 am ---- I just squirted loads in and left it for a few days to go off.I dont drive it during the week so its not a problem.If you need your car during the week you could fill it on a Friday afternoon and leave it till Monday,should be set by then.
The judder is still there but the difference is very noticeable.

#10: Re: clutch judder/stiff pedal? Author: Zoe86, Location: BanburyPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 11:08 am ---- I would recommend a new clutch if it is juddering and I am not sure they are too expensive either.
#11: Re: clutch judder/stiff pedal? Author: Sprotty, Location: newarkPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 1:53 pm ---- Gonna be doing it just need to make time, got a flywheel to be skimmed too.

#15: Re: clutch judder/stiff pedal? Author: bisphenol-a, Location: AntarcticaPosted: Mon Mar 26, 2012 10:17 am ---- my clutch of my 180 is bloody stiff. had mild judder on 1st but I work around that problem by giving the engine more gas for a split second longer before clutching into 2nd.
thought I needed a new clutch so I asked the master mechanic on my last service. tells me my clutch is fine and there is no need to change. anyhow the stiffness irritates me, I'm wondering if spending money for a new clutch by Peugeot would solve the stiffness. would it?
ohh! there was this time where my clutch sounded like there was metal bits crunching or breaking off when moving off from stationary. happened only a few times on 1 particular day but has been silent ever since.
do I need a new clutch? stiffness and some crunching noise?
