nut161 Member 15 Member For: 16y 4m 1d Posted 01/09/09 10:21 AM Share Posted 01/09/09 10:21 AM hi,ive got a weird problem with the clutch in my 327rwkw turbo ute. from what I have read the clutch isnt reliable after about the 300 mark but im pretty forgiving to it and it has done about 30-40000km on it so far. now the problem is that the clutch seems to be slipping on fastish changes but doesnt slip if I load up a high gear, when I changed the engiine oil I noticed the clutch resevoir was almost empty and topped it up. the shifting felt better but the weird slippage was there and there are no signs of leaks at all. is there an inspection plate on these boxs to check the clutch so I can check if the slave cylinder is leaking onto the plate causing slippage?cheers,danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
