  • Engine over revving but no increase in speed

    Can anyoine advise what this problem might be please...

    In 5th gear on the motorway, revs about 3000. Floor throttle and the rev's rise but there is no increase in speed/power (kinda feels like the rear wheels are spining but they're not). This problem only seems to happen in 5th gear and sorts itself out after 4000 revs.

    Anyone have an idea what it may be?

    Thanks in advance.

      I'm pretty sure it isn't but the sensation is the same.

        Turns out you're spot on! Does anyone have any idea how much labour is involved in replacing the clutch? Garage is quoting me 10 hours! ouch!!!

        Thanks

            It's an indy I use. They've quoted £450 labour.

              I don't know how long they'd take but the previous owner of mine used to work for BMW GB and fitted a clutch to mine a few months before I bought it, he said they're "dead easy".

                          Just spoke to Mike, he said the M3's are about 5 hours and the Z3M's are about 10 so I guess they're not taking the pi55.

                          Thanks for the help and get yourself back in an MC soon.

                              No problem. You could have saved me £250! I'm paying cash so they're not...you know.

                              How do you find the Pug? My MOTHER has a modified 205 GTI which I have driven and it's scarily fast.
