Morning all,

I noticed last night, under load, most notable in 4th,5th (& 6th if i'm brave) that between 2k rpm & 2.5k rpm the clutch appears to be slipping.

The engine accelerates to 2.5k rpm then flaps a bit (not a stutter) and then carries on accelerating.

Now, my initial reaction is that the clutch must be on its way out. But the car has only done 30k miles & i don't ride the clutch, nor do i drive in traffic very often.

Does anyone have any advise they can impart my way? Should i be talking nicely to me local dealer?

Cheers

could be the infamous dual mass flywheel problem?? do a search on it

Cheers

**does search**

Is the car remapped?

Totally bog standard, no mods at all.

It's not the flywheel, there's no juddering, clattering or vibrating.

I phoned my local dealer & they're going to look at it for me

30k miles out of a modern clutch is a bit poor as far as i'm concerned...

well my clutch is up to 70k now, and has learners driving it, and still drives like new it may be the infamous 'clutch glaze' that people have talked about, where if driven too gently can glaze the friction surfaces and cause slip.... the theory is, a few violent starts will wear this away, and all will be good as new! Don't take my word for it though, I wouldn't want you to make it worse, but there are some members on here (I hope they post) that have tried this, and made their clutch slip go away ....

I have been driving in grandad mode lately i suppose....what would be classed as 'violent start'?

ASR off 1st gear, dump clutch and go-go-go? 2nd gear maybe?

I'd like to think the clutch is better than an Enzo's at violent launches...

Ta,

MPM

Sounds good to me :D

mine did this abit, so I tried the "Shifty technic" and since then I've had no issues with it.
