Hi all, not too sure if i should be worried or not but my car tonight felt a bit funny. Was doing 55ish in 4th and due to it feeling odd i thought i would investigate. Put my foot to the floor and the revs increased(By something around 500-1000rpm) but speed didn't. It felt like the clutch was in or something. if you can shed any light on this i would really appreciate it.
Also, my car is a manual series III wagon with and LSD (which i know is single spinning at times).

clutch pickup is about the middle of the travel. Clutch is only about 7-8months old i think. I will try adjusting the clutch and see if that helps.
Cheers, Rhys
