Just after some opinions from the Tuscan owners out there. I have a Tuscan 2S, currently on 24,000 miles, with its original clutch. Most of the time I don't notice any issues, but if I'm in a lot of stop-start traffic, particularly going uphill, I do notice it starts to slip. Does this mean I need a new clutch, or is this a symptom of the clutch getting hot, and possibly going to occur with a new clutch too?

I don't want to shell out £1000 and find I don't notice much improvement. It's my weekend car and not tracked (yet...)

All thoughts and comments gratefully received.

Thanks for the replies. There is no problem engaging gear at all, and most of the time no issue with clutch slip. It's only if I'm stuck in stop-start traffic that I notice anything. Perhaps a new clutch and lightened flywheel is the way forward.....
