Hey guys, I just wanted to run this scenario by you to see if it seems legitimate to you.

I have a 2013 1LT with RS package. I purchased my car new last January and have driven it ever since. The car has 16,305 miles on it and I have never had an issue with the clutch in the past. I have been driving standard for about 8 years and have never burnt out a clutch in any one of my vehicles.

Yesterday I was approaching a red light so I pushed the clutch all the way in and felt a strange ticking noise in the pedal. When I was leaving the stoplight I heard the ticking noise from outside of the car but proceeded. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd I entirely lost the ability to shift, and my car will not come out of neutral even with the clutch all the way in, when I do attempt to shift it feels like the gears are grinding. :angry:

I turned my car off and am unable to put the car entirely in gear, it starts to go but then just pops out again. I smelt nothing burning in or around the car. I brought it to the dealer and they told me the clutch entirely burnt out and essentially told me it was my fault as I do not know how to drive stick.

Does this seem like the actual answer to my issues? Thank you in advance!:thumbsup:

Sounds like clutch. Monster has an excellent aftermarket one far stronger and tougher than the OEM unit. Do not try and force the shifts or drive, you will damage the syncros and possibly bend a shift fork.

First off, they have no business berating you like that. If I were you, I'd tell them I don't appreciate being disrespected and that I'm going to call their customer service line and speak to someone about it.

As far as the issue is concerned, it should be covered in the warranty. Make sure they honor it.

I agree w/Chapel.....some dealers don't deserve any customers for the way they treat them.
