Sorry for such a long post but this has been a long term problem that I have been trying to fix for a looonnngg time.
It feels like the clutch is slipping upon acceleration, especially in lower gears and higher speeds are generally not possible.
So far I have changed clutch plates going from EBC to original ones. Replaced both the inner and outer clutch baskets and fitted heavy duty springs, all to no avail.
I remembered reading somewhere that one of the gears can spin on the shaft so I looked in the workshop manual and found out that the 2nd drive gear is a press fit on the layshaft. It also states that this gear can be replaced twice before a new shaft is required.
Has anyone else come across this problem and come to the same conclusion that the clutch isn't the issue?
Any help or suggestions will be more than welcome.
