Title: Urgent Help I think she's sick!!
Post by: S6GTI on 31 May 2009, 21:05

Hi guys,

I was driving a while ago and and when changing into second gear at around 3k i put my foot down the rev's stick at 3k but the engine was reving then shot over to 5k then back to 3?? all this in a mtter of 2-3 seconds, but this was not all the time. Now its happening more regualr but its now also doing the same in 3rd gear but all through the gear as soon as i change into 4th ts back to normal??  :sad:

Any 1 got any ideas or suggestions??

Many Thanks

so you plant your foot, the revs shoot up but you don't increase speed? just want to make sure i've read it right

if so you need a new clutch

Handbrake on, try to pull away in 1st gear. If it's really bad it'll just rev up.. but to be honest your description really only points to a clutch on it's way out.
