it could be oil in the clutch hosing would clean out with the hosepipe, flush all muck out and see i that helps. could be somthing els but i do mine ev now and then, dont use a pressure washer as that will remove the grease on the thrust bearing. y:

A Manual clutch/pressure plate/flywheel is nothing like a 'proper' auto.

but the clutch is the same, was not meaning presure plate etc just the clutch pads, muck and stuff still get in there and needs to be clean'd out somtimes, oil and road muck can cause clutch spin.

Then its not an autobox - an autobox does NOT have a clutch - it has a torque convertor.  No autoboxes use a clutch as used by a manual box.  Be told  ;)

Agreed. Only clutch you'll find in an automatic gearbox will be small internal ones for changing the ratios. it is of course the torque converter that sits in the bellhousing, where a clutch would be on a manual box, and controls transmission of drive from  engine to transmission.
