[QUOTE="david_j_muir, post: 1948892, member: 713610"] Hi All, My car recently developed a problem that was causing it to rev highly when pressing the accelerator, but this power was not being transferred to actual acceleration. The revs were high for 3-4 seconds before the actual acceleration caught up. On occasion, there has been a screeching sounds, especially in the lower gears and this is accompanied by a strong rubber burning smell. I sent it in to get repaired, and was told that it was the Hydraulic Slave unit and clutch that were causing the issue, and that they both needed repaired. These were replaced, and I got the car back last night. All went well for the first couple of mile, then the above has started all over again. Not knowing anything about cars, I was wondering if someone could advise on whether the clutch and hydraulic slave unit were actually the problem? Thanks DM [/QUOTE]
