I have been scouring the forum and read a piece about synthetic oil friction reducing additives reducing clutch performance , i will have a look at their oil specification tomorrow as it seems to tie in with the oil change at service time,allowing 100kms plus for the oil to soak into and contaminate the friction plates in the clutch
Whoever posted this information is wrong..wrong...wrong. I have used synthetics for years in wet pack clutches etc.

Here is a good honest and accurate dissertation on this... http://www.smartsynthetics.com/artic...t_clutches.htm

I would look for a binding cable or the clutch not releasing all the way. Does the clutch cable seem like the "travel" is complete and the clutch is completely engaging?
