Clutch prices

[Spirit]

Excuse my ignorance here but never had an auto before the VR4 - is there still a clutch type setup ? If so.....

Anyone had a clutch go on a tiptronic - of so what are the signs and what sort of price to get it fixed ?

Nothing wrong with mine as far as I know just wanted for info

You get electro-mechanical clutches on the latest transmissions, but I don't believe the INVECS is like that. It certainly doesn't drive like one, as it's got that 'slipping' feeling to it, which would indicate a viscous coupling between engine and gearbox.

I'm sure it's just a torque converter with mechanical lockup on 3 & 4 INSERT INTO post VALUES (on the UK 4 speeder anyway).

they have bands that can burn out
the inside of the bands are like brake pads
and can burn out or stretch and slip
