time for a new clutch ! unless you seal it up 100% you will have this problem a few times if you play in mud!

lf you haven't tried to drive it with the clutch slipping full on pull the rubber boot off and stick the hose in a little bit, turn the hose on and start the car and push the clutch in and out until clear water comes out.....and try that it should come good....

lt should last a couple more months but you will need a new clutch as the thrust bearing will eventually lock up....my clutch drowned 3 times and still kept going but went through 2 thrust bearings, and on the third one thought l would replace the whole thing....

When you do replace the clutch my advise is to silicone the whole bellhousing when fitting the box back up....this will help but you will still end up with a little bit inside....

Cheers Chris
