is the pedal shuttering on shift change ? as the pedal comes up ?
is the pedal squishy the first inch or so then firm ?
is your car sqeeking like a mouse under the bonnet when your sitting and not moving with the clutch disengaged ? and then when you engage the clutch the noise goes away ?
if your car has done 185 without a clutch change i would say thats extremely impressive but id assume it has if your the second owner ?

Tried the 4th gear trick and stalled so all good. First thing I did yesterday was check the level of the clutch fluid. Correct level but far from clear. Looking through all my receipts I can't see when the last time it was replaced so this is the first thing I will do tomorrow.
As for your other questions has none of those symptoms.
I also re-checked my receipts as I've owned the vehicle since 2009 and 125 thou km's. I have receipts back to 75 thou and no sign of a clutch change. However having owned heavy duty clutches before, it does feel heavy for a stock clutch so it may of been replaced some time in it's past? Just no receipt of it.
Coke trick, that's a new one!
