Clutch slip
Markp - 8/6/06 at 05:54 PM

Has anyone had problems with a 2l zetec on a type 9 box where the clutch is slipping?

I have a lightened tiger flywheel and a bog standard pinto clutch (which is new) and its as though it can't take the power

Would an uprate clutch be the next step or does it sound as though somehting is a miss?

Thanks is advance

Is the cable new? Mine snapped last week and I ftted one of these new fangles teflon things, bloody brilliant, I used to get a bit of slip on fast gear changes, totally down to the old cable, the new one has made the clutch so light - impressed

Thanks for the replys

The whole lot is new, it just seems the clutch can't take the power When you put your foot flat to the floor in second/third sometimes fourth the revs fly up but the car holds back, i know it is the clutch but i can't see why it's doing it. I have tried altering the clutch cable to see if it makes any difference but no joy..

I read somewhere that this may happen if there is grease or impurities on the clutch lining.
