Noticed a few days ago the clutch seemed to be getting loose. A day ago I was having to push the clutch all the way down to get into first. Today, reverse is almost impossible, first pops in, and down shifting to 3rd makes a slight grind.

It's at the shop, but I don't want to get burned. What should I know before talking with them on Monday? What could it be? And what could it definitely not be?

Hello,

It sounds like you are in for a new clutch kit it should cost with flywheel resurfaced about $700.00 tom $800.00
