Clutch Slip?

[Shaggy]

Not been around for a bit. I got rushed into hospital a couple of weeks back with Ruptred Appendix

Took the car out for the first time today since the opp. On the way home, turning into my road I accelertaed but there was not gear, just a scream, then the gear caught hold.

Any ideas?

low on fluid..or massive wheel spin..hope your feeling better now..

I have no idea, but I'm glad you're back in the saddle again.

I had wondered about your lack of posts.

Hope all is well now.

Glad to hear you are ok mate:)

Mine was doing that after Audi didn't put enough oil back in my gearbox and left the seal off the filter inside the box.
Have a look if she is leaking oil or not.....or you were pushing her to hard???

[Shaggy]

Nah I were not pushing. I was turning into my road, I accelerated quickly, but not hard.

wet or slippery conditions? did the traction control engage?

Hate to be the bearer of possible bad news, but that slipping was the 1st warning for both times my Gearbox failed & needed replacing.

Symptom was accelerate from very low speed or even standstill & the revs would rise to say 3000ish RPM but no real traction/drive, then all of a sudden BANG & drive engaged & the car lunged forwards. This over the period of say 2-3wks got more frequent from it's initial appearance until the ECU decided the gearbox was fooked & then locked the box into limp mode (3rd gear).

Hope this is not the case with yours, but the symptom is near identical.

I strongly recommend checking fluid level aswell as leaks.
