Default Sudden Loss of Power!

hi there, hw ru u all? i have a question to ask, i have a uk spec classic 2000 and the other day as i was coming home i must have given a touch of boost to my car as it was going through the revs at 5000rpm it suddenly jerked...like for example when dropping from 5th gear into second at high speed if you knw wat i mean. any ideas what this could be????.....my fuel was on very empty.....this has never happen before.

finally could sum1 tell me what are the symtoms of the clutch going at the early stage? would it be like the revs goin through and the boost not reacting?


many thanks, ur help is appriciated

early signs of a clutch going would be in 5th gear and the car starts reving and the cars not pulling. Does there car run ok now and have u tried it again?
