Hi people!

do i need new clutch plates or could there be another soloution! iv bled the resiviour to the slave so i dont no what else it could be! Any ideas???? answers on a postcard!

mine is also doing the same 7k onwards

I think it's the clutch fiber plates wearing out

[eggy81]

engine oil change before you start fkin about with the clutch ;)

Did you use a new brand of oil? fully synth and also halfords own brand semi make my clutch slip

[thumperslaw]

Done mine two days ago with semi good oil. Still does it

I am having exactly the same problem. Need to get around to changing the plates as well

Some times you can get away with sanding the steel plates to get rid of the "blue" on them. Helping some times
