Unexpected neutral but going into gear when asked again is a symptom of worn clutch acc. the indie who serviced mine.
As a new owner and car bought with unknown clutch wear (last owner had it serviced by an ex-Maserati tech but without suitable interrogation tool) I had to judge whether the 78% worn value meant I needed to get them done this time or next.
Mine does not do the unexpected neutral yet, I won't be doing lot of miles and most of those will be long distance with not much changing so I decided to wait.
Do you have a clutch wear reading from the last service?
Thanks rs.as a long(er) term owner I bought QP with unknown clutch wear. When the F1 pump was replaced they measured clutch as eighty something percent worn. Still driving the car as my daily, but have choice of others so no sweat when it does pop.
Up to you how much good clutch to throw away. The majority of owners seem to prefer security of changing it before it breaks. Any other car you only fix on failure. You pay your money and take your choice.
Instead of replacing the clutch during F1 service I have invested the 2.5k in subframe repair and tyres. nothing wasted in Trident ownership.
Very good friend Gav told me years ago, don't ponder what anyone tells you but think why?Unexpected neutral but going into gear when asked again is a symptom of worn clutch acc. the indie who serviced mine.
That answer was given because I asked what symptoms I should look out for, as an aid to making the stick or twist decision on clutch blackjackVery good friend Gav told me years ago, don't ponder what anyone tells you but think why?
Of course any good technician will give their considered expert advice and I happily pay for their services. They might also have business to run. A decent business (like our owner) would never do this of course. Main dealers? In a heartbeat imho. I will be having my clutch replaced by garage where a working relationship already exists. Feel for you having to leap this hurdle early in ownership.
