CLUTCH SLIPPING

[Gordy]

went for about 300 mile ride on Tuesday and turned last corner 4 miles from home and clutch started to slip,got home ok just couldn't accelerate fast.Next morning went out and removed vacumn line from clutch housing,started engine and there was full manifold vacumn.removed clutch solenoid valve and have a new one ordered.What a hell of a thing to get at,on front rite side of engine just above rad and below air box.Manual said to remove air box but found it easier to swing out rad to get at it.

bye the way if you remove the horn fuse it removes electrical fault, that is where solenoid gets its power 20 amp fuse front fuse box.Hope this saves some from a long diagnosis dealer had never had this problem.

That's one of the first checks in the manual. There have been issues with that valve.
