The revs will rise, but the car doesn't accelerate in relation to how the revs rise. So if you floor it in a low gear i.e. putting a lot of torque through the gearbox, the revs will rise but the car won't accelerate as much as that amount of throttle should make it.

The revs rise, and will then come back down to normal when the clutch stops slipping.

VERY poor explanation, but my mind is full of uni dissertation at the moment, and so is working like a mushroom !!

I would have thought it more noticeable in higher gears. :confused:

try  setting off in a higher gear than 1st. like 3rd. if clucth is slipping it will let you set off. if not it will stall.

LOL oops.....by lower gear I meant eg. 4th 5th - where you are really putting a lot of torque through the box.

6th gear , low revs , full throttle , as boost comes on the revs will flare up if your clutch is slipping.....

Me thinks WhiteGTI's mind is the one that's slipping...   :wink:

Good luck with your dissertation though...   :smiley:

mine slipped in 6th first when the turbo kicked in so all the torque was just coming from 3k rpm to 4k the car sounds like its over revving and after a while mine started doing it in 5th

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box
