    Slave Cylinder - SLIP

    Afternoon, I'm probably preaching to a crowd that know way more than I do about this. Took my 200 in for the dreaded 4th gear crunch to be checked out and the synchro on 3rd & 4th is shot as expected. As a separate issue I mentioned some intermittent clutch slip and it turns out the slave...

    No drive above 3,000 rpm

    Weird one. Car pulls away with no noticeable slip up to 3,500 rpm, gets up to and cruises at 30-40mph no probs. However, anything above 3,500 rpm in any gear I just get revs and no power. The revs come on fast as well as though the clutch is slipping. Any ideas? Cheers.

    Since becoming a clio rs owner in May I have let on to every 197 or 200 I have passed and not a single one has responded, other than a couple that have looked at me like I'm licking my windscreen and gurning at them. What is everyone else's experience with this? I grew up driving old land...
