I've spoken to various tuning people and a few owners on various forums, and the general consensus is that given the power output of my car, I'm a little unlucky to be getting clutch slip at 20k miles.

I've been able to make the clutch slip consistently for the past few weeks, since starting this thread, in 3rd gear upwards.

I've bought a 500 mile old clutch and flywheel and got prices from the ever patient Kate at JKM for fitting.

Then... along comes the thaw

I honestly have not driven the car since mid december or so in anything warmer than around 1.5 degrees, until this week.

We've had between 6 and 10 degrees in Bristol this week, and I've had absolutely zero clutch slip, even when I'm trying to.

All very strange. Not sure what to conclude at the moment, other than perhaps this is advance warning of the clutch fail to come, but I won't change it for now and will see what happens in the next few weeks/months.

so what you're saying is....that the "slip" you felt was actually just wheel spin due to the crap weather and conditions !!!  :star:

Timmyboy:
Nope :)

It was definitely clutch slip.
