can you damage enything else when using a damaged clutch for a long time? (the clutch is slipping and somtimes just reving, no power then it will kik in and and accelarate, then just rev for a couple of seconds then go again,) will it damage other parts if it brakes compleatly, or even just using it like this? thanx

slipping causes heat enoulf heat will cause cracks in the flywheel small ones are ok but if they get to big you will need to replace it (longer than 1/2 inch)
the flywheel will most likley need to be resurfaced allready
and the clutch kit comes with everything else

Hi
You will very quickly damage the flywheel, if you haven't already.
I would have it sorted as soon as humanly possible if you plan to keep driving the car. You will need to have a 3 piece clutch kit fitted which consists of a pressure plate, friction plate, and a release bearing.
Very best regards

If its worn down completely it can seriously damage the flywheel contact surface, if you don't replace the flywheel after its damaged it will damage the new clutch, if the pressure plate breaks it can smash the housing surrounding it.

If you have trouble changing gear you could also damage the gear box i.e the selectors. The clutch has now got to the stag were it defiantly needs repairing you will soon break down and not be able to complete the journey.

It sounds like you have already done all you can do. You will need to resurface the pressure plate and replace the Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing as well as the pilot bushing, you may need to replace the clutch master and slave unit as well with some good hard work Good Luck and God Bless

when you decide to fix this problem your going to have to buy a complete clutch kit with flywheel. And if it does decide to come apart you could ruin the transmission if it sends pieces throw the bellhousing.

Yes, it will cause expensive damage to the engine flywheel.

You'll need a new pressure plate and have to get flywheel resurfaced. But you probably need those already. Don't forget to get a new throwout bearing.
