pressure plate not spinning
Pressure plate not spinning when the lever is pulled in (disengage clutch). it stops spinning after a short time.

Is my clutch on the way out or is it something not to worry about because i've not ever noticed it happen before.

Surely thats supposed to happen isnt it, thats what happens when you disengage the clutch by pulling the leaver in.

Smacks to me of some sort of leak internal or external on your fluid system.

I would suggest if theres no fluid leaking on the floor, it may be an internal leak where master cylinder or more probably slave cylinder seals are worn!

Sounds like a little bit of clutch drag. Probably needs bleeding if its bad.

i'm with stu
it will stop spining a few seconds after you pull the lever

if it is still spinning then your clutch is dragging??

Have you been on something?

Once you pull the clutch lever in, it disengages the drive through the clutch, ie the pressure plate will be able to spin as long as you keep the lever pulled in!!! Just the same as sitting at the lights in gear with the clutch pulled in!! ffs

If it stops spinning a short while after initially spinning when you pulled the lever in, its the same as letting the lever out, releasing the pressure!
This must mean that there is a leak some where internally or externally!!

Yes thats what i ment too, if the engine is going and you pull the clutch lever in, after a few seconds the pressure plate stops rotating and the clutch drum keeps rotating with the engine. If not why bother having a clutch
