slipping clutch
« on: 04 April 2013, 17:37 »
Ok so I've sorted out my sump, but now my clutch is starting to slip through 4th and 5th. The pedal is quite stiff but not extremely hard.
Somebody mentioned bleeding the clutch fluid or something like that.

Can anybody shed some light on this please

I think the brake fluid reservoir is a feed for the clutch as well. Perhaps an entire fluid change may help? :undecided:

Could air in the fluid cause a slipping clutch

I its slipping your friction plate is either contaminated or worn to rivets. Or pressure plate springs have weakened. Air in the system causes a low pedal and difficulty selecting gears. Sorry dude.... Clutch time!!

My mistake, I just checked. It's not the red one I was thinking of but if it's the right one your on about, it's way too much out of my price range. I've only got upto 1800 max for the right car
