Replaced mine about 6 weeks ago.  Symptoms are slip in higher gears, 4th,5th,6th and a general sloppy feel in the clutch, no defined biting point, engine revs dont drop properly on gear change.

Other symptoms can include vibration in clutch at idle and on releasing clutch.

Hope that helps.

Thanks thats been helpful.

What about knocking or clunking noises, has anyone had that? Think one member on here got his DMF done under warranty due to a clunking noise?

Mmmm intersting.

Would a faulty DMF make a noise as the car was just rolling along with the clutch depressed? Or a better question would be, does it make a noise on standstill whilst idling?

Possibly release bearing?
