Thunderace - Slipping Clutch Poll
As detailed in the previous thread our freind and colleague Mr Thunderace is buying a Transit from Gatwick and needs to get it back to Glasgow with
slipping clutch.
Place your bets now.

most of the driving will be cruising and very clutch light.
I reckon itll make it.

he could go round the world so long as he's on the motorway and not climbing any hills
if it starts to slip though, thing will go badly as it overheats and fades 
oh it would be so funny if he hit road works, he could cause a 25 mile tail back

Get to know the behaviour re. when the onset of slip occurs - the combination of gradient and throttle - and try to just keep shy of that point and it
should get there.
Mind you, it's uphill all the way on my map!
He's whittling on a piece of wood. I got a feeling that when he stops whittling, something's gonna happen. (OUATITW/Cheyenne)

1st in a transit is almost a crawl gear - so i reckon he will be alright in traffic so long as its moving.
according to my TIS there was a massive recall for 2.4 transits eating clutches..
