Slipping

Indicator
Whilst in 4th gear the engine is revving but the speed of the vehicle is not increasing

Cause
- There is incorrect clutch free travel
- The clutch control mechanisms are faulty (fork, pivot ball, cable, and/or clutch hydraulics
- Worn out clutch kit

Effect

The clutch diaphragm has been partially disengaged causing the disc to spin within the housing or the disc thickness as reduced enough for it to slip.

Action
- Correct the clutch free travel as per manufacturers specifications
- Replace any worn or damaged components
- Renew the clutch kit
