clutch sticking?

threeseventy · 11-01-2011, 07:14 PM

Firing this thread up again.. I get weird clutch action when I modulate clutch and gas e.g. merging into another lane/ getting around a stopped vehicle etc. with lots of gas, the clutch doesn't want to engage so it sits at the bottom of the throw range and sort of comes up a little if I reduce throttle- and I have to completely let off the gas (with traffic approaching from behind- fun) in order to get the clutch engaged. It's happened since I bought the car new, again today getting around a Mustang crawling over a minor RR crossing, with lots of clutch smell from the slippage. Is this just the traction control ( usually off if I remember to ) or an issue with the slave/fluid?
