Forgive my ignorance, but what are the symptoms of clutch slippage? |

Increasing RPM and a distinct lack of pace. If the slip is not yet that bad (noticeable), you might try putting the motor under load, perhaps by selecting a taller gear, then try accelerating hard. If slip occurs, not only should you notice it physically, you might even here the difference in engine noise compared to what's usual. Rocket |

Rocket, thanks for the info. Could it be a steady increase in RPM and lack of accelerating? Or, would the increase in RPM's be more sporadic? |

It'll probably feel pretty steady. Worse in the higher gears. rt |
