When i rev it high in first it really doesn't like going into second, it goes in with force but crunches a bit.
Also i was sat stationary with my clutch on the floor and the car in first and i revved it, i didnt move my clutch at all but the car julted forwards a little bit, and stunk of clutch.
Any idea's what it could be? Its sure to be a warranty job as the car has only done 3k, but i'd like to know before takin it to Vaux

clutch isnt slipping it sounds like it aint clearing properly (the opposit in effect to slipping.)
The high revs putting it into first is something you shouldnt really do anyway and vauxhall gearboxes never like that!
But the fact it jolted forward when revved in the gear means the cluth want clearing !

Maybe needs adjusting? Cable is too long, shorten it a bit and it should drive better. Just wind the plastic end piece. Pedal should sit just slightly higher than the brake pedal, my guess is that its a bit lower...?
