All im thinking is that if a clutch slips,  does it not move more than 500revs and then comes back down on its own accord?

my rocco had clutch slip, first was a little blip and never, then as time went on it would go about 1,500, then disappeared for a couple of months and then new clutch time, then you have a flawed car for driving around in traffic

Ok, fingers crossed it's the ECU having a moment. It is strange because I can't replicate the problem if I try. It only happens randomly. I'll check it out with revo tomorrow and keep you guys posted. Is there a way of putting the car in 'stock mode' until I know what it is?

You can put the car into stock mode ,but you have to buy revo sps dongle , then you can choose which mode you want,stock mode ,stage 1 98ron fuel or race 104 Ron fuel ,it's about £100.

Well if you dont wanna fork out for that you could try a different Ron assuming you're running 98. Should lower bhp and it might be safer on the clutch

Do REVO not do a tamer 95RON map which would have lower peak torque and power figures but might be a bit smoother?

Ive only seen an APR Low 'non tubro blowing uppy' output map, doubt revo need to do one as there map seems to be in between the two already?

Interesting topic this...

I've thought for a while there might be something up with my clutch. Then tonight while reversing on my drive (bit of snow as well), i did everything as normal and the car revved pretty high but pretty much didnt move and i got a horrible smell. Is this not clutch slip (cant be s**t driving, theres no incline to reverse up)?

Only done 6000 miles and they have been mostly B roads 50-60mph so not much clutch action.

Never gone through a clutch before or had this happen.
