colshyr1970 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 on my way to a golf outing today and i noticed as i was accelerating, i was getting a wierd shudder going through the gears. someone suggested i try a bottle of redex to give engine a clean with that, someone else mentioned a possible slipping clutch. anyone else had this kind of problem?

Russ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 While your in top gear try blipping the throttle, if the revs rise quickly but your speed doesn't, it's a sure bet your clutch is slipping and needs renewed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
