[Woody687]

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.

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.
