<< Hello all,
I was wondering what can remedy my clutch slipping. It slips when I take
off quickly from a stop of sometimes even going into second gear while
accelerating quickly.
Can I adjust the clutch somehow or do I have to put in a new clutch. I put
a new clutch in about 2 years ago.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks in advance,

Denis,
You can try adjusting it first, it will depend on if it's worn too much or
not. There is an adjustable-length rod going from the slave cylinder to the
throwout arm, with a lock nut on it. As the clutch wears, you want to make
the arm shorter. Check and see what the position of the clutch pedal is from
the floor when it engages, then adjust the rod so it's closer to the floor
when it engages. How far is a matter of personal taste.
