Sounds like clutch being worn, or contaminated. How bad is it? Is there any oil leaks?

Mine used to be like that, slipping in the higher gears when giving it the full beans, then catching up.
It was the clutch in my case, the friction plate wasn't that badly worn, it was the pressure plate springs that were unable to provide sufficient clamping force. |

I had a similar problem not clutch related though.
It was always a spool down from a high speed run, i found that breaking early and not changing gears or engine breaking was the way forward. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/ Current: TD5 '110 "Lucinda" Thread here: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic62562.html  |

Hello
Thank you for all your reply’s, This skipping effect doesn’t always happen, it seems as if you use the car more frequently it tends to happen much less. There doesn’t seem to be any other leaks, the transfer box rear output shaft seal was leaking but that was replaced last week. I should also as the clutch works perfectly. Another way the effect can be described is like when an automatic downshifts a few gears when you accelerate hard. The one thing which seemed to improve it- more or less for one drive was cleaning the MAP sensor. Look forward to more helpful reply’s Kind regards |

On mine it was the fuel pressure valve leaking that would contaminate the clutch until it was burnt off.

You can buy rebuild kits at half the price (Bosch) or even cheaper if you fancy doing it often, I only did mine a few weeks ago and doesn’t take long

Fitted a complete new unit to mine.
Give your FPR and good clean and see if it’s leaking. It’s worth checking the bell housing drain plug when servicing a Td5. They stay in all the time unlike the tdi’s, but can get blocked by crap, so best to remove drain plug and poke something up hole to make sure it’s clear. |

No. Leaks whist engine/fuel pump is running, and will leak most when just ticking over and returning the most fuel to the tank.
How many miles has your clutch done? Andy. |

Do you know if the engine has been remapped (electronically tuned) for more power? After mine was done, the previously OK clutch started to slip under full throttle.
I had a new clutch, and it was fine after that. |

These are the possibilities
1. clutch plate is worn 2. flywheel is on it's way out 3. there's engine oil leaking into the bell housing and contaminating the clutch easiest way forward, open the drain plug to the bell housing, if there's any oil, then you know you need to change the output seal on the engine which means gear box and engine need to part. depending on how good your skills are and your ability not to drop the gearbox onto yourself, you might be able to get away without lowering the gearbox and transfer box. if there's no oil in the bell housing, you might still have to drop the box and check the flywheel and clutch plate. if you paid for the labour to drop it, might as well change them all, including the release bearing. the parts are not really very expensive, but the cost and effort to get them down, means it's best to do the whole lot. since you are there check if the gear box has any wear on the input shaft, if so, you might want to change that and do a rebuild, but since you are opening it up, might as well change the synchro plates and then on to the transfer box, check for play in the input and output, might be it also needs new cross pin and seals, might as well add a high capacity oil sump to it as well to aid cooling.
