Hi everyone,
I own a 2012 R58 JCW and have notice recently that if I am cruising in anywhere from 3-6 gear and floor the car around 2300-3000 rpm I get an odd (very quick) jump in rpms. Its as if you try to accelerate on a patch of ice (not quite as extreme but a similar spinning feeling without the car accelerating any faster).

Ive also noticed that if I accelerate in 5th or 6th with the cruise control on and I get this jump in rpms, my cruise control will shut off and not return to the speed I had set it at before accelerating.

I have no check engine lights on, no strange rattles, ticks or any sounds so Im a bit perplexed. Any info would be great!

 

clutch going out

 

It does sound like Clutch Slipping.

Any sign of oil leaking? If so it could be a rear crank seal leaking and oil is getting on the clutch.

Does the Clutch Pedal feel correct? There are a few possibilities, a visible inspection may be required.

Motor On!

 

No leaking that I've noticed. The pedal feels a little stiff, I was reading on other threads that it should feel rather light. Im going to be taking it in today to have it looked at, see if I can catch whatever it is early. Keeping my fingers crossed
