We have not had any further reoccurrence of the clutch slipping. The two times it did slip was in starting away in second gear on an incline. The engine raced away untill the fabric took the drive. I was driving the car and getting away in rather a hurryfull throttle was being used. G.W.H. G.W.Hancock | ||
