Hi, my Alpina 2.5 engages gear perfectly with no clutch slip whatsoever, but while in gear and driving has just started slipping for no reason
As mentioned, I can change gear and the clutch engages perfectly and only slips while I'm putting my foot down
Any idea what it could be???
Thanks in advance for any help

Clutch worn, whats the mileage and when was it last replaced?

I think the usual test is to pull the handbrake up put car in gear and try to pull away.

As above mate.
Drive to 30 mph and put your foot down when in top gear and if the clutch is worn the clucth will slip.
Some say that if you replace the whole of the clutch, then the slave and master cylindres are worth doing at the same time.

Mart.

I had the same problem in the past got a new clutch and when pulled out the gearbox it was soaked in fluid the slave cylinder was leaking clutch was fine

Thanks for the info guys, its done 106k, 700 miles in the last 9 years since I've had it (yes that is 700!!!)
I'll get the clutch checked out, interesting comment re the slave cylinder

Lol, I think I did 940 in 14 months

Any oil leaks? I had sump gasket leaking into the bell housing and contaminated the clutch.
