ok, '00SVT w/41k owned since 37k My clutch has always grabbed kind of high and also I could notice it slipping only if I was going around 45-50mph in 5th and punched it, the RPM's would slightly jump and slowly come back down as the clutch re-grabbed. The other day I was backing up and I kind of harshly put it in 1st and punched it and it slipped really bad and I noticed that gut-wrenching burning smell. Do I just simply have to bleed the clutch to fix this? or am I looking into BIG$$ for a clutch replacement??
