Title: high revs no power! HELP!
Post by: jammac on 18 June 2007, 09:09

OK. any ideas on this one gentlemen?

whilst driving in any gear it seems if i put my foot to the floor the engine will rev through the roof immediatly with no increase in power to the wheels. i can still drive the car fine be it like a granny, i just have to take it easy on the throttle. which i do most of the time anyway but this is rather annoying and i think its getting worse.

could it be my clutch slipping?  :cry:

cheers?

Sounds like its slipping.  Is your bitting point near the top?

sounds like your clutch is going buddy, mine is doing the same thing - if i boot it in 4th and 5th it just slips!
