    Default Clutch slipped, advice?

    So the other day I was doing a bit of spirited driving alongside a liberty GT. I downshifted from 6th to 5th, and got nothing but clutch spin, it didn't disengage. Shifted back to 6th, then to 5th, and all was fine (now all that remains is the burnt clutch smell).
    I MAY have slipped the clutch slightly between shifts, unsure.
    Is this cause for concern? Car only has 5,500km on it

    If you stuff up your clutch operation and slip it during the shift then it will do that. Don't be worried unless it starts doing it on normal gear changes.

    Thanks. I figured as much, just wanted to confirm. Owning manuals all my life you'd think my mind would be at ease about it!!

    this was happening to me.... until i bought the spec stage 3+ clutch and upgraded to the single mass flywheel... and it was possibly the best upgrade yet!

    Your car has so much torque it changes the earths rotation when it moves tho. And a 3 is a lot easier on its clutch than the 6 is as well.

    How do you find the vibes with the Single Mass Flywheel?

    I find under 2Kish RPM the parcel shelf rattles like I have a mega sub-oofer in the boot...

    Cheers,
