I am suspecting that one of the 2 clutch sets is starting to slip. In Gear 6 I notice the revs surge briefly when I start to climb or come under increased torque loading. I put the vehicle into manual and have booted it in the even gears and notice the apparent slippage. I cant detect any slippage on the odd gears though.
The car only has 47K but I guess you can get wear at pretty any mileage depends on how lucky one is I suppose.
I have ran diagnostics and don't get any fault codes from the Mechatronic or transmission
I am embarking on replacing the clutch myself as the cost from Skoda is astrononical. I have quite a few manual clutch changes under my belt, transverse and inline but have never done a semi automatic.
So a few questions:
Should I change the DMF as well as its a pretty pricey part and I cant here any knocking or bumps when gear changing so assume the shocks are good?
Are there any gotchas or things to be aware of, like software / calibration updates to an ECM?
Any special tools?
Any good advice (dont do it lol)
Kind regards
Chris
