Grinded my Clutch
Well I was enjoying my ride in my 8, and i've only had it for about 2 weeks now and I accident grinded into 3rd gear. I guess i may have released the clutch just a tad bit too early. I was just wondering cuz whenever something happens in this baby i just have a self-conscience way about me that i'll feel the car is acting differently. Just out of curiousity is it bad that i grinded especially since it was the first and hopefully the last time?

there have been complaints on this website about cutch and tranny problems. if you seem to have consistant problems finded the gear or grinding there may be something wrong with it. some have had shift forks bent and other have had the flywheel bolts slack off. and a few things in between.
if your gear grinds, make a note of it and if it is consistant then talk to your dealer. if you do have problems start a thread and tell us what happened. somebody will have an answer for you.
