Hey, My EA82 4wd manual wagon's clutch has been slipping quite a lot recently. Mainly in third when I put my foot down on the flat. But in the last couple of weeks the slipping has completely stopped!!

 

Is this normal?? Or does it mean that it is something else other than a worn down clutch? ( I don't want to change the clutch if its really something else!)

Unless your clutch cable is incredibly tight, causing the clutch to always be partially disengaged, the clutch is worn out and needs replacement.

 

Try adjusting the cable just to make sure that's not the culprit.

if your rear main seal is leaking oil onto your flywheel, it could get on the clutch. then when the oil gets burnt off(when you slip it) it will grab again.

 

this is an unlikely scenario, and id bet your clutch is going out. or what he said above, way too tight of a cable.
