Ouch: 3 Brera (3.2L) Cluches in 5 Months

Can anybody assist: My car is in the workshop, to have its 4 clutch fitted. Yip, I managed to destroy 3 in the past 5 months. I had a GT before this and I had no similar problem. Anyone with a similar experience?

Sounds like a flywheel or algnment problem Sir.

I would have thought technical would want a look before they pay for yet another!

You're not a deep sea diver by profession by any chance?

They say its my driving...and city tracfic. I admit that I do drive fast...but the vehicle "Brera" was advertised as a sports vehicle!!!! Must I drive it like my Granma would? With 24000km on the clock i want to get rid of it. Their other comments: "One can destroy any clutch of any vehicle in a matter of seconds". My opinion: "the car is slow, unreliable and made for a showroom floor, not for driving"!! But i still remain a Alfa supporter. Why, why, why? Cummon Alfa:"I want a true Alfa thoroughbred-it must look like one and act like one i.e. it must run like hell". Ps: A ford focus whips my ass, got a super sound system, better feul economy, is reliable and costs half the price!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try changing gear without the clutch, if road speed and RPM are matched it's perfectly possible.
