    Engine rev but no traction?

    Thanks for the reply - I agree with you to a certain point. However why didnt I notice it on the 16" alloys and why is it that it happens at@ 3000rpm and not at low revs. Is this due to the extra torque being put on the clutch ? As you say the symptoms sound like the clutch just a bit confused...
