Looking at the forums I should just get the whole clutch replaced. My concern now is the car is on 87k and maybe I should get the dmf done too?

I've seen people converting to a single mass and I don't want to break the bank so does anyone know what the best option is?

The slave cylinder alone at a garage near me is going to be 470.

The engine runs like a dream so I really don't want to let the car go!
1/ How did you detach it ??

2/ The DMF will be fine.

3/ Single mass flywheel is a NO-NO.

4/ If you do get a new slave cylinder fitted then a new driven plate is not dear and can be fitted in just a few minutes with the gearbox off.--( 5 minutes plus the cost of the plate. )

5/ That pedal sticking down could possibly be the seal in the master cylinder.

There are pictures in the ---How-To's of new and old seals to look at.
