If you dont feel it slipping or chattering then it is probably ok. If the pedal travel has become longer as time has went by then its probably getting close to needing replaced. If its originally with 220,000 miles on it then it may be time to replace it as maintemance if you have the funds.

The IRS Agents that have been tracking you
are in Cahoots with the shop mechanic.

They are plotting to confiscate your vechile.

I'd find a new place to garage your Colorado !!! laugh

... you don’t even need a clutch... get the rpm just right and it’ll slide in gear like butter

The interstate battery place has reconditioned batteries for cheap with a two year warranty. Its all I use. Just replaced one after five years.

Don't know what to tell you about your clutch. I would expect something with 220k miles to have a little wear.

I wouldn't think everyone was always out to screw me over all the time though. Especially some compounded scam where one shop sends you to another shop.

I tell you what Coonman you drive that truck over here to Nebraska I'll give you five $100 bills to take it off your hands. You won't even have to worry about the clutch anymore. I want the new battery with it though.

Good luck with that truck coonman. I, born and bred in Flint, MI, birthplace of GM, but sadly walked away from Chevys forever, with my last GM product being a 2010 Colorado. Repeated junk small series trucks, with my Colorado being at the dealer more than my driveway most times.

Tacomas are my trapping vehicle of choice.
