DaveK Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Sounds like clutch slip. An easy test for a knackered clutch : Put the handbrake on (stationary of course!), put it in first, gently let the clutch out with the handrake still on. Car quickly stalls - clutch OK. Car happily revs - clutch knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 clutch up the swanny, or possible fluid has got in there. they tend to slip in the higher gears rather than the low ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 clutch up the swanny, or possible fluid has got in there. they tend to slip in the higher gears rather than the low ones thats what i was thinking,i did the clutch test bit today with the car parked with handbrake on etc putting the car into 1st or 2nd and it was stalling np,. but the effect in 3rd or 4th is like a slipping clutch ?
