Clutch Slipping at 14k Miles

[Ryan94]

Title sums it up! Emira is in for its 2nd year service, and i'd put a note regarding issues with 1st/2nd gear (lock out adjustment didnt work) and another gearing issue - dash would register the wrong gear i.e. went from 5th to 4th, yet the dash displayed 1st gear, hit redline and then went up to 4th gear over the next second or two (to clarify i was 100% in 4th, and didnt move the gear while the dash adjsuted the gears shown) This has happened 4/5times!

Dealer is saying the clutch is very heavy and bite extrememly high, and that the data has been sent over to Lotus HQ for review. Any thoughts onto whats happening to it? Isnt tracked, and gets the odd spirited driving day.

Cheers,

Your symptoms are not of a slipping clutch. Is it slipping in gear in addition to the issues of it showing the incorrect gear and lockout issues?

Definitely sounds like a fault rather than a wear issue. Warranty should cover it. The car is designed to be driven hard and tracked. So even if you had (and many of us do) shouldn't cause this fault.
