Hi Guys I encountered the following problem in my VY Maloo it has 245rwkw and I brought it a couple of weeks ago and it is very tidy. The clutch and gearbox seem nice and tight but the problem is after changing gears at high rpm.. the ute labours at revs for 1-2 secs as though the wheels were spinning but I cannot hear tire noise. It then collects itself and gets under acceleration again. it also happens from 3rd to 4th when changing quickly and over 5500 rpm!!! Has anyone encountered this. I also have 20" wheels so I assume they are not spinning from 3rd to 4th with only 245rwkw. Let me know what you have got or what I should get checked. If driving like miss daisy or easing the throttle into gear it does not happen. Is this a sign of the clutch,diff etc??? or could it be the tires losing traction as the back end does seem to creep when it happens??? It has got me beat!!! Thanks guys
