I Think My Clutch Is About To Give Up The Ghost

[walfice]

Today the gears became much harder to select (even harder when I changed through the gears whilst stationary). And when selecting reverse there is a 'crunch' which isn't normally the case. Does this sound like the clutch is on it's last legs? If so will it be covered under the warranty (or at least get some contribution from toyota for the replacement)? My car has covered 43,000 and was registered 02/07.

Its possible that it may not be covered by the warrenty if its just wear and tear, different story if it was a fault tho.

Sounds like the clutch to me too.

I'm not sure how Toyota will treat this, as it still seems to be under

the 3 year warranty, but at 43000mi it might just be "normal" wear...
