I don't know if it's a result of my pirouette the other day, but I heard an odd noise from my clutch or gearbox (I think) as I was reversing out of a carpark space yesterday. I was reversing uphill so had to give it a fair bit of revs, but somewhere at the front started sounding like an animal - mostly because of the rise and fall of the revs I guess, but definitely a sort of rowroowwwr noise (told you it was hard to describe ffs )

I haven't been able to replicate it yet but then there's no unusual sounds when going fowards.

Did anyone whose clutch has gone have any audible cues? Or was it just feeling it slip/instant knackeredness etc.

Slipping clutches stink you would smell a fishy smell
Probably slipping alternator belt

I think I know the sound. If you could replicate the sound going forwards and in reverse, and only against a steep gradient then it's probably the same problem I had. A clutch replacement solved my problem.

Yeah I know the smell Mike No expensive odors this time though, hence wondering if it might have been the box instead.

The pitch was definitely related to revs. I'll see if I can get it to happen again.
