New clutch slipping in 5000 turbo quattro

[Ado Sigal]

Ben,

Sorry to be so short, have to go to bed.

- To eliminate SC-MC line problem, undue briefly SC bleeder.
- To eliminate constant SC pressure, take the SC pin out and test the 
car if it slips at same load.
If the problem is still there, E/Box must be separated. Inside problem 
can be wrong PP, reversed c/disk (IMO would slip much earlier), or to 
thin f/wheel, which according to the symptoms could be the case.

HTH and good luck

Ado
