warrenty on GU clutch

I am assuming that your vehicle is still within the warranty period. If you have the owner handbook it is specific about what is and what is not covered under warranty, usually things not covered are items subject to normal wear and tear ie brakes & clutches, this is where we hit the grey area as to what is normal versus abnormal, to me clutch shudder is not normal particularly if it is bad and could be pointing to another underlying problem.
I am certain someone on this forum will be able to speak from Nissan experience.
Good Luck

Hi Austravel, mate I worked for toyota normally toyota wont cover for a clutch brakes etc as they class that as normal wear n tear and they can't determine your driving style eg rideing the clucth etc (not saying you do) thats why they wont cover under warranty. I think your mate was very lucky but sometimes even if it was out of warranty or even in warranty we would see how many klms the vehicle had done if it was vey low we would hum n har about it. But to be totally honest with sometimes it would depend on the service mans attitude as well. If you come in ranting and raving (not saying you did) you got no chance.Not unless there was a lot of the same vehicle coming in with the same problem. At the moment they are getting some hilux's in first of the 3litre turbo had a bad batch of clutches shuddering etc. Wouldn't like to have been the first bloke with this problem imagine trying to tell them it's not your driving style.

Beware of dealer bulldust (IF it is a dealer you have been talking to). And as or white lies ...... who nows re your contact ........ but one thing is clear ..... my dealer told black lies, tantamount to fraud. Other have reported the same here. Seems clear that some dealers don't want any warranty work - they must make so little on it ($ from the factory) that they see it as an unattractive obligation only - they'd rather avoid it (only doing it for clear cut cases, mates, and valued clients) where possible. The factory tell them what they can have in $ for the time - when they do servicing for us, they tell us what the will take, on their terms (big difference). How to avoid warranty work ? - crap on to the client when they come in, trying to convine them that the factory won't wear a claim. I'd be testing the issue full on with head office. Clutch issues can be down to a variety of causes - 60k is bugger all - you need warranty !

Sadly,most of todays drivers are taught driving,by "driving"..In the regular army we spent two weeks in the classroom first,then,only after passing a test proving we understood the mechanics of initating power at one end of the power train and the mechanics of delivery of it to the road/track surface,were we allowed into the driver's seat..Much of the driver training today is,sadly.aimed at learning the "road rules" which are of course an important component of driving..Sadly drivers get little training re skids control and are encouraged to put blind faith in ABS (Amateur Braking System ?)..Take the case of a full on ABS driver,given a "loan" non ABS car while vehicle is serviced,on a wet road,driving close to front vehicle,then,used to non-skidding ABS,slams on the brakes,skids wildly into innocent vehicle in front,ruptures fuel tank etc.....Defencive driving courses.Life savers. Whew! Got that off my chest!..RockyOne!MPG:7!

Toyota replaced the clutch in my 100 series diesel twice under warranty. Once at 95,000km and the second at 113,000km

Have heard this many times in the past with GU's.. one bloke was told he should be happy with 60,000 out of his... Nice that they are so cheap to replace too...

Clutch? Whats this clutch you speak of?

havnt had much to do with toyota warranty except we got a cracked diff housing fixed under warranty with an 01 ute in 04 (well out of warranty) even though they knew it was used as a bulldozer. we also got a low range linkage replaced under warranty in a newie even though toyota head office had never heard of one breaking (read you gave it how much abuse?????) however warrany claims seem to depend on where you took it and how much persuading you do deffinitly seems some places are better than others make notwithstanding

Thanks all.
