Feels like something slipping
Hi all,
I was cruising up a hill doing about 50mph, after coming out of the 50 zone, I accelerated, the engian reved up but it felt like it did not transfer the power to the wheels, lifted my accelerator a bit for the engine to catch up and took it easy after that, it felt like something was slipping, I didn't try it again just in case I made it worse.
So top and bottom of it is, when I put my foot down hard on the accelerator, it revs high but doesn't pull off with the it,
I hope someone can make some sense out of what I've tried to explain.
Any help much appreciated
Bill

Slipping clutch possibly Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right.

How many miles on the clutch?
Any oil leaks?

Take care not to let the clutch slip too much as can overheat and damage the flywheel. Gearbox out to replace. While at it yoy can consider checking or replacing the adapter shaft between the gearbox and the transfer case. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

My clutch went at 44k. Is it original?

Current clutch I have is about 38k now, the first was the original generation.

The newer ones seem much better overall. ___\⭐️Lone|Star|State/___

My '07 110 was on its third clutch at 44k and is now on its fifth (I think, it's easy to lose count) at 250k. The current one is overdue for replacement but has been in for 100k. The fourth lasted 60k, so they are getting better but 100k isn't great for a traditional clutch. These have all been genuine standard driven plates, I have a 4x4 Transit clutch to put in next.

I may have got through a lot of clutches, but incredibly the output adaptor shaft coupling is the original (tempting fate to say this, I know).
