LOL, that means there are 6690 Dart GT's ready to go! I wish....
Allpar reported on this recall several months back actually.Bob Lincoln said:I read on several Dart forums yesterday that there have been a number of clutch failures in manual transmissions EARLY on - like, between 200 and 2,000 miles. Most were seals that blew out on the slave cylinder, causing the clutch pedal to go to the floor, but not release. One owner was told that they now press the clutch pedal 5,000 times before sending it out the door.
At least one was told by the dealer that his clutch was installed backwards. Not sure if that's physically possible. But it makes me want to wait a couple of years before considering one...
I thought that recall was for the DDCT?Mike V. said:Allpar reported on this recall several months back actually.

It was a slave cylinder issue on the DDCT.Paul J. Reed said:I thought that recall was for the DDCT?
Maybe they are having slave issues on both. At my dealer the trans guy is a close friend, only complains about the DDCT slaves.Bob Lincoln said:The posters in these cases clearly stated that it was the manual transmission... :shifting:
Exactly, it was both. The DDCT is only an automated version of the manual after all.Mike V. said:Maybe they are having slave issues on both. At my dealer the trans guy is a close friend, only complains about the DDCT slaves.
In general, very few Darts and LX cars come in for service.

Right, and the slave is a pain to replace. We had pictures here on Allpar.UN4GTBL said:Exactly, it was both. The DDCT is only an automated version of the manual after all.
Dart has been getting needed adjustments.Roryn44 said:FYI the Dodge Dart model year is going to be extended so that the 2013 Dart Gt can happen. 2014 model year will start in the fall instead of late summer. Seems like the Dart won't get the needed adjustments.
