Are you saying that this is a clutch problem i.e. the action is binary (on/off)
rather than gradual? Or are the
engine revs not picking up? If the latter, is one of your SU pistons a bit
sticky? I've been using my 2.5 to
work for the last couple of days and I think I've got this problem, but it
clears after a couple of minutes.
