[DML] Re: Revs increase but no more power

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like a worn out clutch disc or weak pressure plate to me.

Does it only slip w/ hard rev'ing? Gentle driving can eek a little
more life out of the clutch. Just remember that your rivets could be
eating into the flywheel. A damaged pressure plate of course doesn't
matter because you'll be replacing it anyway.
