alright peep every time i change gear and accelarate it sound like and feels like the cluch is slightly still engaged when the prob goes away (after a few secs) its goes properly could it just need ajusting ??

its a possability but it cud also b the thrust bearing sticking

is that a simple solution

i have just had the engine fitted so i rekon it could be just adjusting needed but is there a simple way of telling if it is the thrust bearing??

[cooper_nova]

i've only heard of them sticking never seen one, just a thought but when u fitted the engine did u fit a clutch??? if so did u line it up properly???? if not that cud also be another reason why its playing up!

i imagine it was lined up properly the macanic is fearly good and its only just started to hapen and is not a regular thing its only when im trying to push the car a bit hard

erm.....i've run out of suggestions atm!
:oops:

do u mean the car revs without accelleration???

sounds like either oil getting onto the clutch or somthing is loose

i missed a clutch cover bolt on mine and it slipped when it was pushed hard

try going up a long hill in 5th and floor it see if it slips or not

no mate when i change from say 2nd to 3rd when i realese the clutch its ok but as soon as i put my foot down on the accelrater it feels like the clutch is slighty (only slighty) in then it goes away and the car resumes to normal

neil it sounds like ur clutch is slipping(eg wearing out) try tightening the cable, if that don't work then u need to get the clutch replaced
