Is there a Mazda 6 clutch issue - Perturbed
Hi all,

Someone I know has a 10,000 mile, 1 year old Mazda 6 diesel which has worn out its clutch. Is this a known problem with this car? He has taken other cars to the 100,000mile mark before without the need for a new clutch, so it doesn't appear the problem is down to him, though you never know.

Dealer he bought the car off is saying he has to pay for replacement as the clutch is not a warranty item.

Clutch vibration on diesels can be cured FOC by a dealer-fit modification (though this may be confused with the a/c clutch mod under 'recalls').

Enough reports of premature clutch and clutch/flywheel failure to state that the model seems to suffer a much higher rate of this than would be normal. One reader had a spate of problems in two and a half years:- new clutch (18,000miles). New rear tyres due to mis-alignment (20,000miles).
