ok so first, went to the drags monday and geve it a pretty hard thrashing, flat shifting 2nd and 3rd etc pretty rough on the car.

then tonight was driving and all was fine, its wet about so couldnt help a couple of small tail outs nothing crazy, in 2nd and so on

after one slide wheels spinning obviously, tyres get traction back and it bogs down a bit..
now you know when ur say your going 50 and your cruising in 4th next to no throttle, and put ur foot hard down it obviously wont break traction or take off like clappers, but accelerate slightly etc. when i do this now it will cruise at one speed normally, coast along in neutral normally and rev in neutral freely like normal. but as soon as i put it under load in a high gear it clunks and jerks.. as if the flywheel AND clutchplate are moving but slipping off the input shaft.. similar to a spanner on a rounded nut yeh?
im pretty sure the flywheel to clutch contact is fine, aswell as the diff and box... but iv got the feeling the teeth from clutch plate to input shaft is where the problem is... im hoping its only the clutchplate teeth that are f**k and not anything else more permanant
has this happened before? ill be checking it out tomorrow at work but yeh
