Clutch or boost control?

[Codex]

So i\'ve had a weird inconsistent issue lately

GTB BG manual

So sitting in 4th doing 50/60kmph

Put foot down a bit and occasionally, not always, rpm\'s will increase but speed won\'t increase for 3-4 seconds and then it picks up

It almost seems like clutch is perhaps slipping, but could this be related to boost controller needing a good clean out as not delivering properly?

Will be cleaning out the BBoD next weekend anyway

Not sure how else to describe it

[Leufkax]

In a manual engine speed is directly related to rear wheel speed. Unless your clutch is slipping. So, yes.

Well bugger, looks like i\'ll be in the market for a new clutch then cheers

Why would it be only in 4th that it would behave this way though, seems too inconsistent o-o

I\'ve tried recreating the problem is every other gear bar reverse lol and been unable to do so

[Marky]

More load on it in higher gears. Hence why they tend to let go when towing / going uphill or whatever

There\'s literally nothing else in the driveline which can slip and let revs rise (but not speed) if the car is in gear

[Codex]

Sweet, thanks for that

is it getting tricky to select 1st or R? but yea clutch is on it way out the door past the fridge and out the gate and down the drive shortly

[Codex]

Nope no problems at all with 1st or R, 2nd can feel a bit hard but has never really had an issue either.

Unfortunately won\'t be able to get clutch done for a wee while yet probably like 3-4 months away. Although since I only really use it in weekends should last until then i\'m hoping. (Live near my work so don\'t drive)

[Joker]

silly things eh, yea should last you fine as long as your aware of it etc (wof guy might ping you for it

[Codex]

Just did Wof a few weeks ago, they completely missed my leaky buggered front arm bushing >_> RDL picked it up yesterday, big ups to RDL _b

As I said, it happens so infrequently I barely noticed it until the other day
