After 33700 miles of normal driving, my 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT needs a clutch replacement. I was told this was "normal wear" by the dealership, but I have never had a clutch fail at such a low mileage.

Vibe

  • Manual transmission
  • 67,000 miles
Have a 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT and just had to replace the clutch at 67 000 km. This is not the first car we've owned with a standard transmission, our previous car was a 1996 Pontiac sunfire which had 200 000 km on the original clutch when we sold it. We bought the 100 000 km powertrain warranty, but were told that the clutch is not covered. I had to pay for the replacement myself. We bought a new car so that we didn't have to worry about performing major repairs on it for several years.
