156 2.5 V6

Anyone with a 156 V6 in Bath?

Hi,

I've recently brought a 156 V6 2.5. I've been told that the clutch is supposed to be high... but it really feels too high.. I haven't had any clutch slip while going up hill... But when I try to put it in sixth while 30mph, it doesn't jerk at all... Is it because my clutch is slipping or just the engine has enough torque? (the rev didn't climb)

I was wondering if there's anyone here with a 2.5 v6 in Bath so that I could maybe meet up and try the clutch to compare?...

I'm not aware of anyone in bath with one, though it's not to say there isn't I hope you find an answer soon. If not, there are plenty of Indies around who can assist you!

Of the top of my head, I don't sorry. But just give him a bell, he will happily talk to you on the phone with you

I guess a 156 TS in bath isn't a huge amount of use
