theres something wrong with my car
it first started when i was in a carpark chatting to my friend and i reversed out because i was on my way home and i was still goin back 2 or 3 mph untill i wanted to spin her off but put it in first and buryed the throttle and got a horrible grinding from the front passenger wheel.nursed her home and gave her a wee run up a big hill which my house is on top of and she run grand.
then in the wet i tried to give a wee spin and the same horrible grinding noise happened.and now when i give it to my car up the hill at my house she revs up to the limit at about 5000 revs or peak power and in third as well but she just about holds in 4th and it ok in 5th.it feels like the clutch is slipping but i know what a slipping clutch is like and a clucth doesnt grind like that.
any help.
sorry for the huge story but want to give you as much info as possible?
