Need new clutch?

[pete_rawli]

Having some problems; think it's the clutch - would be grateful for any advice.

When I'm in slow moving traffic, I'm trying to accelerate and the car is just not responding - it's just revving. Eventually the clutch will bite and the car will jump forward.

The strange thing is - this only happens when I've been in slow moving traffic for a while. It's fine at high speeds, and will be fine if I was to slow down briefly. Problem mainly occurs when I'm in traffic etc.

The exact same thing happened approximately this time last year, however after a while it just stopped and the car seemed fine, so I didn't think any more of it. However it started again today.

The bite point in my car is very high - but it has been like this for a while.

Is it just time for a new clutch or is it another problem?

Forgot to mention - the gear stick also starts vibrating a lot, and the exhaust sounds weird... best way I can describe it is it starts to throb, makes the car shake?

Thanks in advance.

Have driven it twice since this - first time it was absolutely fine, however having just driven it problem occurred again.

Anyone?!

Certainly sounds like a new clutch could be needed
