2015 Mito quadrifoglio, TCT box, 15k Miles covered. Stuck in rush hour traffic this morning, noticed a very bad acrid smell coming into the cabin. Thought I even saw a small amount of (oily??) smoke coming out from under the bonnet. I took it to the Alfa workshop & the very helpful guy ( many thanks for your help, didn’t get your name) there immediately identified it as a clutch issue! As it’s still covered by the original warranty, he advised I get it to an authorised AR dealer ASAP. So then, a 2year old Mito, only 15k miles on the clock & with the TCT box, I can’t see how the clutch could be thrashed/knackered. With a manual clutch, ok, resting your left foot in the pedal can accelerate the clutch wear, but not with an auto box, surely?? Anyone else had extremely early clutch failure with the TCT box? Also, I hesitate to ask this, but experience with claiming through the Alfa warranty? How helpful— evasive are they? All opinions welcome. HELP!!
