Candice was absolutely flying on Sunday at Snetterton , until a dreaded case of clutch slip suddenly kicked in after a few hot laps .
The fact that she would pull strongly again , without clutch slip , after being allowed to cool down before beginning to slip again once hot suggested a combination of clutch wear and possible rear crank seal leakage .
Either way , the gearbox and the clutch had to come off in order to inspect the parts .
The Flywheel and Rear Crank Seal :
Old Clutch and New Replacement ( Don't new parts look sooo sexy :
The gearbox had a relatively large amount of engine oil inside upon removal , confirming that the rear main seal was leaking .
Original Rear Crank Seal :
New Rear Crank Seal Fitted :
New Clutch Fitted :
The roadtest indicated that the clutch is now performing as required , so roll on our next trackday .......possibly Bedford Autodrome next week !
