A friend of mine adjusted the clutch pedal so its closer to the floor, and that seem to solve it, but this morning its still slipping!!! Might see if we can adjust it even more.

Can't smell anything from the clutch.

Bloody thing!!

BGB states that biting point isnt far from the bottom.

Let us know the outcome.
