Z-monster Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Any ideas on how serious this might be... Going from 2nd to 3rd (uphill about 50mph). Re-engaged clutch and then the engine instantly bounced up to rev limiter with no further traction, (ESP was switched on, mind) and then a strong smell of burning, double de-clutched, and then it seemed to *pop* into gear. My petrol headed friend said not to worry as the clutch has just gotten hot and "glazed" and that it would be fine "later". Bit vague... I'm new to this high power clutch engagement malarky - last car was a diesel Golf - but it does seem that the clutch is quite good, I keep stalling it at the lights (n00b) but it has done 55k and I keep reading that that's quite good going but also high for a Zed. First time I've had this problem...and just to put it in perspective I've done about 3K in a month (new car, itchy feet, new toy syndrome etc..) Thoughts?

ZMANALEX Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 If your clutch is slipping which it certainly appears to be by your description, and you are not inducing slip or abusing it, then clutch replacement is the only answer. In stock and good to go same/next day if required at £285.00 Flywheels also in stock at £345.00 Just drop me a PM if I can help you further Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
