Told By 2nd Hand Sales Person It's Perfectly Fine & I'd Get Used 2 It But To Me Felt Dangerous & Questionable ?! Is It Normal ?? Thanking You In Advance !! Angela.

Our answer:

Hi Angela,

Without experiencing it for ourselves, that doesn't sound right. And without knowing the make and model of car, we can't offer any specific advice. It usually points to a worn clutch for sure, but there may be something up with the hydraulics that control the clutch if relevant as well. Best bet is to take it to a good mechanic to get their advice.
