   Think my vtr needs a new clutch as it is biting quite high and I tried pulling away in 4th like people said on here and it pulled away but nearly stalled but kept going so I guess it's time to change it? If so how much should I expect to pay for a new clutch fitted?
   
   Thanks in advance

   Mine cost just under 300 quid fitted bout a month ago mate, yours might b a little more as the vtr clutch kit might cost more than the 1.1 kits do?

   you can adjust the bite point manually if need be, its a bolt on end of a threaded pipe next to (left of) battery

   FUUUUUUUUU*K!!!!! What clutch kit did you get?!?! and how much was labour?!? Clutch kit for my VTR was £58 and a garage fitted it for £90, clutch kit for my VTS is around £80 and Im hoping the same garage will fit for around the same!
