Clutch replaced in my car but is extremely sensitive

swingking · 2008-05-22 22:07:49

I got the clutch replaced in my Rav 4 and it's extremely sensitive. So much so that if I raise it an inch off the floor, the car moves. Is this normal? Should I bring it back to the garage? or is this something I will get used to

Pedal travel will have shortened a bit if your old clutch was really worn.

Also the new clutch will be quite sharp until it beds in a bit.

Give it a few days and see if it gets better (and you used to it), otherwise bring it back, there might be a small re-adjustment necessary (depending on your type of clutch ...not much can be done on a hydraulic one)
