Hi, I'm suffering some clutch slip on my 86 110 CSW but only after its battled along the motorway for 30 mins or so. After a couple of miles off the motorway it goes away and I can't replicate the fault when the engine is cold. Even with excessive revs when applying the brake the engine starts to stall as it should and everything appears normal. Is this just the first sign of the clutch starting to go, or is there something else that could be causing this?
Thanks

Any oil dribbling out the bellhousing? If so the main crank seal has gone & could be contaminating the plates etc??
Mind you, it would more than likely slip all the time!
Could be lazy clutch fingers etc?

Yep, oil drinbbling out of housing. Mind you, there seems to be oil dribbling out of everywhere!. How big a job is replacing the crank seal and how do I check that its this thats causing the problem?
