Clutch sticky feel at top rev gear change
I went for a blast earlier and had a bit of a job shifting from 3rd to 4th at top revs. I swear that the clutch felt like it stuck a bit and there was the usual smell too... not strong but there. Later on in traffic etc. it was fine. Anyone experienced this before?
Its a 6 paddle job with new release bearing and cover about 1000 miles ago. The car is running around 450 bhp. The gearbox is recon and done the same miles so doubt if its that.
Will try it again next week but anyone experienced this before - clutch drag I guess you would call it?

Cable is also new Tab so that should be OK. Even put extra heat shield sleeve on it for that reason. Not sure of the cover make but yeah, it was at around 8k that I had the problem Euan. Does it happen to you often mate?
Did the AP one sort it for you?

The problem is the springs in the alcon cover are not strong enough to re engage at the high revs( I think).
I was told by a very reliable source that fitting the AP cover would cure it.
