may 21 junbought a rx8 2004 90k miles
june 19 the clutch broke in many pieces while shifting 5th gear to 4th gear


I'm probably going to intent legal procedures

One question:

On the contract, it's written: "defective clutch bearing"

Can the bearing be the cause of the clutch's break or its impossible???

thanks

 

Saying you're going to take legal action could require a flame suit.

I think its just the top of the pedal itself that snaps, though.

 

just like what happend to mine yesterday, and we just finished fixing it this morning

 

At 90K with the OEM clutch...I wouldn't expect a lot. If they gave you a guarantee when you bought the car they should fix it.....

Some jurisdictions they have an implied used car warranty for a period of time...

Good luck sueing them though.........will cost you way more than putting in a new clutch

 

A better idea of what actually broke would help.
Did the friction disc come apart, the pressure plate, or just the bearing?
At 90K you are pissing in a fan sir, the clutch lasting this long is good on a sports car.
Did the car come from a dealer or car lot, they may give some warranty.
From a private person you are going to bite the bullet for a clutch.
Yes a bearing can cause damage to the clutch.

 

put a new clutch in it and stop talking about clueless lawsuits, it's actually a common problem for RX-8s with 1/3 the mileage you have
