Clutch Slip?

[Rick H]

Help please!

Under full throttle S5 shifts, I've noticed the car seems to die briefly just after shifting gear before coming back strong . . . I'd liken it to the traction control kicking in, but the roads dry, no dash triangle and have supersports on with 6mm+ tread.

Is this the dreaded clutch slip or something else?

It's due a service (Inspection).

Yo Ben, Gareth has breathed his magic on it previously, but this time it will be Darren Woods in Stockport. Excellant rep all over net and great to deal with - they put on my Alcons. I think Mr Woods is an ex-CSL owner too, that could be nonsense - my memory is very hit and miss

Cheers Gareth. It's RobMugs ex-car, i think you did head gasket on it last year amongst other things.

I haven't mentioned it to DW yet, just trying to find out what it is. There was a couple of isolated misfires a week or so back after a thrashing at Millbrook but nothing since. I'll pull codes when I get around to it.

Hope new job works out by the way - I'm sure your rep will give Bartlett a big shove in the right direction.

Thanks mate , jobs goin good so far , it's good in the fact I can pull stuff apart to try and fix parts rather than just replacing them something I havnt been able to do working for a main dealer . You no where I am if needed .
