Ok, a question for any one who knows anything about clutches and flywheels!
If a flywheel was failing, would it cause any of the following;
1. Knocking/thudding when changing gear (usually as the clutch bites).
2. Jerking as the clutch bites (kind of feels like driving with poor clutch control).
3. Jerking when on and off the accelerator.
4. Slight scraping/whining sound when in 1st and 2nd gears at low speeds, unless clutch pedal is pressed down.
5. Knocking when turning the engine off.
My car is going back to the dealer on Monday, for yet another drive with a mechanic to get them to acknowledge the problem. I'm almost certain the dealer knows it's something to do with flywheel/clutch/gearbox, but is stalling me because he knows it's going to be expensive to fix.
They insist that all the mounts are OK, and that there's nothing visibly wrong.
Any help much appreciated!
