Default Officially have to hold my hands up..

My clutch isnt on the way out, its uprated and i was resting my bloody foot on the clutch pedal ever so slightly and it was causing it to rev

i didnt think ever so slightly on the pedal would do that but it bloody does, this clutch bites like a pitbull!

but like said you look less of a fool for admiting it , i think most of us at some piont have rested there foot on the pedal and crapped themselves thinking there clutch has just give way .

i would advise not to rest your foot on the clutch unless your using it really cos it'll put extra wear on your release bearing

I know mate, i dont usually its just with it being a different car etc - and i REALLY didnt expect that just touching it would give such brutal effects lol!

I have been told by the previous owner its an uprated gearbox aswell but time will tell.
