Speak to ankit jhamb - he has some email IDs in maruti that really work. Let's get this sorted out. Time you got a full clutch overhaul of every single item.

Part replacement just doesn't work I guess.
Ankit, E-mail ids do please! I ve already mailed maruti from their website!

However, I do not have any noise or jerk. Just a very heavy clutch and loads of knee pain. When I have consulted Mondovi, they say its just normal and that a diesel clutch is obligated to be hard. I mean, if the clutch feels like this in a TD, I am sure many would resent buying this car. I too will try mailing Maruti and will update on the same post.
Replied on that thread! check it out ! Thats the only solution!

Swift Diesel, from what I have seen crosses 60k kms mark with ease without any of the problems that you have faced.
But one thing is for sure, the clutch in diesel cars is always harder than petrol cars. For me the best clutch is of M800. Its quite simple with some " feel ".
Yes Sadely! I ve almost decided that hell with warranty only service station. I am givin the car to Ravi Automobiles which is near my house and a maruti authrosied service station. These guys are Gods when it comes to cars, just that i could not go to them as they donot entertain warranty claims but i am ready to pay and get this sorted !

Hell with Sai Service, Hell with Maruti !! I am pissed ! I will make Ravi guys call maruti and explain what was wrong in the car and what all the dealers messed up!
