Hi folks,
I was doing a bit of laning at the weekend in my 95 and was sat in some deep ruts which were becoming deeper and the terrain becoming steeper so I decided I needed to be out of them. I switched from 'High' to 'High Locked' and tried to climb out of the side but this wasn't working so like a bit of an EEEJUT I had to gun it a bit. I thought the wheels were spinning but then was shocked when smoke (and stench) started pouring from under the body. I switched the engine off, had a little reassess of the situation and then drove out properly with no problems.
I can only assume by the smell and smoke that the clutch was slipping and it has had a little judder on pull away for a while, the bite of the clutch seems to have got a bit lower (but that could be just in my head) and I have tried some big hill starts on road with no problems at all.
Before I order a clutch, have any of you folk got any thoughts?
Cheers Rob
