VTR Sluggish in 3rd?

  1. #1
    Hi all.. a quick question.

    I have a saxo vtr - 1998 (r plate), after a long run out today to the seaside and back I have noticed my saxo seems a bit sluggish in 3rd (pulls fine in first/second) along with a slight vibration that vanishes when clutch is pressed). I have also had a slight whine coming from gearbox when on power (vanished when clutch is pressed down) and i suspect this to be thrust bearing on the way out.

    Asnyone ever experienced this or know what is effecting the sluggish performance in 3rd?

    Many thanks

    I'm no expert on gearbox's but I'd say it sounds like more than the clutch release bearing and whining is never a good sign
