| Sometimes it holds fine sometimes it slips like crazy as soon as the turbo starts blowing. Could it be my crankshaft oil seal leaking every now and again ? In my past experience if a clutch is slipping it slips all the time until there is no drive at all. It has been doing this since I got it mapped in September last year it should be well fooked by now but it just keeps on pulling (well about 80% of the time anyway ) | |

| Yea it probably is but it only does it sometimes and it runs the same power all the time so it's a bit strange. | |

| Could be to much pressure on the clutch Fork from the Slave cylinder! Try pushing the fork bak towards the slave cylinder it shud go bak fairly easy! | |

| For awhile on the classic I found if I was sat in traffic for awhile and engine & box got really hot it Wud slip so did a clutch fluid change and adjusted the pedal abit and it sorted it! | |

| The crank seal would leak oil all time, it maybe just a small amount but if it's leak it should be obvious with drips under gearbox bell housing. | |

| Mine is doing this too hence why I have a new clutch and flywheel to go in, it is a common clutch issue when running lots of torque, if I allow the turbo to spool on part throttle it doesn't slip, if I give it full throttle from low revs in 5th on an incline it will sometimes slip, this is due to a weak pressue plate, sometimes it has enough clamping pressure to hold and sometimes it doesn't.
Fit the new clutch you have before you need a flywheel to go with it as if you keep doing this you will damage the flywheel, if you ha ent already. | |
