high revs when putting foot down
Hi,
When I am driving (MY99), whether it be normal or hard, when I accelerate the engine revs an extra 1k then drops back down and bites then the car goes. This happens all the time, if I am driving in 5th, and a slow down and then put my foot down again it revs up then drops and bites and off I go.
Is this is clutch thing?
Thanks
History:
July - New Cambelt
August - Bailey Dump Value DV10
August - New MAF Sensor

Sounds like the clutch to me. Mine started slipping after 90k so I had my moneys worth.
I would say, mine didn't last very long after the first signs of slipping!!! some go on for ages but mine didn't, only about 500 miles this included a 300 mile trip up to API to have some other work done, so had an exedy one fitted when I was there.

Thanks for they replies, tried a few garages on my way into work and they all looked scared to death when I asked if they did clutch's. Must be a tricky part
I will try APP for sure, but in the mean time, if anyone knows of anyone in the BARNSLEY area that does clutch's, please let me know.
Thanks again..
Paul.

I would also recomend you get the flywheel skimmed or you may get judder. i can supply a skimmed flywheel for £50 + p&p exchanged with yours.
Hope thats of some help.
