I just got my car back from the garage after thinking one of my cv joints was going. But he took it out a few times did some circles etc and got no clicking. He did however think something was wrong with my gearbox maybe... Since picking it up the clutch has gone very heavy and its struggling to get into gear eventually it picks up but takes a while with the revs but the car judders while this is happening.
Is my clutch, gearbox dead?
Problem is at the beginning of December my gearbox exploded and i had to have that replaced with a reconditioned box. At the time the garage also changed the clutch and the fly wheel.
I going to try and drive it 70 miles tomorrow in a hope that the garage in milton keynes can fix it under warranty.
Im really cheesed off tho as i dont know whats wrong and am totally left in the garages hands.
Please, any suggestions on whats wrong would be great.
Oh its a 2001 Seat Leon 1.9 TDI 110 if that helps at all.
Thanks

I am not a mechanic but do work in a garage. It could be the clutch cable may need adjusting, especially as you just had everything replaced. IF thats the case then driving won't do any more damage.

Yes, your gear box is probably shot. Drive slowly and don't ride the clutch. Also, watch your shifting. You may be wearing down your gears faster than you want .
Have you considered getting a car with manual transmission?

I have to answer to your question, even though I don't know anything about the car. I will definitely pray for you. I have the same problem of you. It is very frustrated when we have no idea what to do for something you don't know about. Car trouble could end up costly to us. I wish there is a company you can trust to take your car in to be fix, and we know it won't cost you arm and leg and more.
