Just brought a 2.5 v6 x-type and wen i give it some thrash wen i change from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd i get a lot of clutch slip. dunno about higher gears as not had chance to go down motorway. Any ideas are very welcome.

Yes it needs a new clutch..

Hi Adam, and welcome to the club.

 

I also think that a new clutch is needed.

Cheers guys. Wondered it was the dual mass flywheel doing its thing under high torque conditions. Its juddering wen pulling off in 1st as well.

Hi Adam, the previous answers to you query probably gives the correct answer however, a simple method of proving the clutch is to place the vehicle in an higher gear 4/5th with handbrake fully on. Attempt to pull off if the car rev's then then the clutch is knackered otherwise the engine would be expected to stall. Hope this helps.
