Eclipse

  • Manual transmission
  • 5,800 miles
I just bought this car and yesterday I noticed a grinding sound when I let out the clutch to start the car. I took it into the shop and was told that it was the clutch disk that was gone and thefore probably my flywheel too. They also told me this wasn't covered under warranty as it was considered normal wear and tear.
