Mitsubishi Triton 3.0 - Clutch Slip

Take it back to the Installer:-)))
Sorry David, just my warped sense of humour.

What was replaced before?
e.g. Clutch Plate, Pressure Plate, etc.
May be a failure of a component that was OK before.

Can only suggest a visit to a mechanic in Perth mate.

Hi David,

When your son was beach driving did he encounter any circumstances like being badly bogged that may have caused him to do some very heavy clutch work? I have seen a number of clutches cop a hiding in this situation and not always come out in real great condition.

I know a guy who hires Toyota Landcruisers at Rainbow Beach for people to take to Fraser Island and clutches are his highest wear and tear item and are generally the first thing he checks when the vehicles are returned.

If it was only light duty work then you would expect the clutch not to be slipping given that it is only 12,000klm new and only been used for soft type work.

Cheers

Brian

i know the clutch was replaced however i had a triton gls 99, coming home up the f3 clutch started to slip so much i nearly didnt get home turned out the rear main was leaking so bad the clutch filled with oil. tell him to look and see if theres oil dripping from between the bell housing and the gearbox. If so rear main seal leaking cost me $1500 to get fixed.
