Lol, we had that problem in my mates car many years ago, tried to get to a party and on the way couldnt get up a big hill cause of it slipping. Gave it a few goes then had to give up and go home!  :grin:
did he have a fat chick stashed in the boot  :grin:

  • If I can't fix it at home, it ain't getting fixed.

Lol... That was similar to my dilema, no cash.. Backs up my point though, worn clutches can soldier on for a while.  It ends up being a game of who does first, the car, or you from the poisonous stink from the burning clutch.
