No Acceleration?

[callipod]

Hi there ive just recently got a VTR 61k miles perfect other then now and then when I put my foot down the revs shoot up but the car does not accelerate and I have to take my foot off and put it down again sometimes it works others it didn't. I had this problem on my old car as well just never got round to sorting it but now I want to get it sorted ASAP. thanks :)

Clutch slipping maybe?

Hi,

I completely agree with bluenotesmiley. Your clutch friction plate is slipping either due to wear or due to oil contamination. I'd guess it's wear.

Ahh right thanks a lot does it cost much to fix and also is it a major job? thanks.

well its gearbox off job soo yes i'd say it is, but if you have no experience i wouldn't tackle it yourself

[Jordysport]

try and test if its the clutch,

stop somewhere safe, put it in second and try and pull away if it doesn't stall then its your clutch. :y:

Ahh right naa wouldn't be doing it myself see how much garage will do it for.
