This is the second time the clutch jammed when I wanna change gear when going up the hill..

The 1st time, I was in gear 3, then I pressed the clutch n wanna switch to second gear, but the clutch jammed, the clutch got no feeling at all, I couldn't switch any gear, once I force it to 1st gear, the engine died, it is just like I din't press the clutch, so I turn off the engine n turn on again, then the clutch becomes normal again, but the clutch felt like much lighter than b4 jammed, I approached my foremen, I told him dat my clutch jammed on half way going up hill while changing gear, n the clucth felt much lighter than b4, so he tested drive my car to checked if the clutch got any problem or not, after checking, he said nothing wrong n he can do nothing. Ok fine, this happened to me 4 months ago.

Then second time, which is today, I went to Genting again, this time was very serious, becoz the clutch totally jammed while I wanna change gear on the slope, I turn on n off the engine for many times, the clutch still jammed, so after 30 mins of trying to turn off n on the engine, I try switching the gear when the engine is off, it is normal dat we can switch gear without stepping the clutch when the engine is off, so I played the gear for severel round, i kept on stepping the clutch while playing with the gear, then the clutch suddenly released n got "feel" again, then i start the engine n switch to 1st gear, very luckily, the cluctch works again, PHEW.... n again, the clutch feel much lighter after dat....

So wat is the problem actually? Gear box? Clutch? Fly wheel?

I suspect dat my gear box got problem too, becoz when i switch to gear 3, there must be some sound like i din't step the clutch...

Anyone can help since my foreman cannot tell what's the problem...

My car is SGTI........

So r u asking me to check the whole clutch system?

clutch pump i heard b4, slave? I dun think my foremen will understand this, how to pronounce it in cantonese? "Gui Lei"??? -.-"

Mmmm... This is a good suggestion....

Overheat is defne as how? After the second police station, I only use second gear, n sometimes change to third gear as I can hear that the second gear has begun to "ask for help" as I pulled the gear 2 until 6k rpm for quite a long time....

er, so u change the clutch pump???


okok...

Over hear define as??? How?

I become so confuse ad, so many things to change, clutch pump, clutch plate...-.-"


***Well, if i change to another new clutch from Exedy, does it include everything that u guys mentioned like clutch pump, clutch plate, flywheel and etc???

Can this problem be fixed by changing clutch?

No burning smell at all, everything is normal, just dat the clutch suddenly jammed.
