to check if its ur clutch, stick it in 5th and put ur foot down, if it revs its tits off without accelerating much its ur clutch

yet im unsure if it is the clutch though, u say a weird noise?ive never heard of a weird noise if a clutch is slipping???

what noise :huh: :huh:

putting it in 5th and putting foot down is exactly what happens, the car hardly goes but revs its tits off which is embarrasing on motorways
