I got my clutch replace 2 weeks ago but last night when I got home there was this burning smelling coming from nowhere under the hood. So i took it to the shop for inspection and they say the clutch could be bad and I have a bad feeling about the clutch cause it did feel different than the 1st few days. Also Chrysler wont take back clutch since this part falls down under brake pads.
The reason for the clutch problem was that I rev it too hi in 1st before engagement but HOW could that happen the thing is only 2 weeks old! Could it be the clutch? me? or installation? |

It could be the clutch, you or the install.
If it was the clutch, it should be covered, and the shop should either eat the labor or get the clutch mfr. to cover it. If it was you, you gotta get instruction BEFORE driving again. 2 weeks is crazy. The "it feels different" part may indicate a bad install, but it would be tough to prove. Weren't you involved with the Hand On The Turbo mess?

If I were you I would do some investigation on warranty and "fitness of merchantability" in your state. I am not an attorny, but there are minimum standards for repairs in most states that cannot be waived. 2 weeks on a clutch would not stand up in court. I would have it repaired and make my next stop small claims court if they give you a hard time. You should research the procedure in your area for this also. It was either a faulty part or faulty install. Either case it is not your fault.
