i can flat the car, do quick change gear and fine, in first second (& 3rd think)

 

but if im changing gear quick and nail the accelarator, the clutch rides.

 

if i dont drive it so hard, and take my time changing gear/accelarating, its fine.

 

Does this need adjusting? or is it just on its way out?

On its way out I would say

ditto

mine done the same its on its way out:mad:

mine went from doing as you describe to completely dead in less than 100 miles, so be warned!

Cool, you getting the max?

yep, and a load of other stuff as well

tiz only slighlty,

 

asume itl get a lot worse, then go.

 

dont want a suprise!

Heh - was just going to post something very similar! When cold, the clutch slips, mainly in 4th and 5th. The weird thing is, it'll bite fine in 1st and spin up the wheels no problem, even in the dry...

 

Still, I thought it was the clutch on the way out. How come it slips more in the high gears with less torque on the plate than in the lower gears though? Very strange...

 

My next question is... is this something I can do myself or can you recommend anywhere around Bedfordshire/Leicestershire that'll do a good job? And from reading LisaF's recent post, I guess I go with an RPS Street or Max?

There is more torque in those gears mate

There is far more torque in higher gears and your going faster including wind resistance downforce and drivechain etc.

Hmm.. my bad then!

 

I assumed there'd be more torque on the clutch plate in the lower gears as there feels like there's more torque... i.e. in 1st, you put your foot down and it shoves your head into the boot, in 5th it only gets as far as the back seats... :p It just seemed like the clutch would have to work harder in 1st, but I stand corrected! :D
