Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

Suggestion
The technician will check the DMF for play, this is to do with springing back and forth, twist - distance etc there will be a small chance that you may need a new DMF, don't worry it is unlikely.
Leading evidence: 'Check dmf' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check dmf' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Some will just use emery cloth to get a running-in surface for the new friction plate to wear into...
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
Have noticed over the past couple of days a slight vibration of the clutch pedal (and the car I think) at the upper end of clutch travel when engaging from standstill. Began to suspect that maybe I should have paid more attention to the comment about a slightly worn slave cylinder (not really knowing what one does) when I last had my car at the garage.
Then this morning on a couple of occasions I experienced (when applying a far amount of loud pedal in second gear) that revs shot up, but I gained nearly no speed (needless to say I got off the power very quickly). Is that what you refer to as 'slippage'?
So I've managed a few humble guesses, but would be very interested to hear what you guys think is going on before I take the humble trip back to the garage.
Thanks,
Henrik
Where are you in the UK (maybe we can point you in the direction of a decent garage)
Sounds text book of clutch failure, refrain from driving if possible, you could damage the dual mass flywheel.
Be sure when you get a new clutch to get the DMF skimmed. It makes a huge difference.
Afraid you were going to say something like that. What does it mean to get the DMF skimmed? Any idea on the damage (£££) of new clutch?
I live in Central London and usually send the car by one of the local OPCs, but any input on alternatives are very welcome.
Best way is maybe bick up the clutch for yourself

Labour should fall in about £300 and a skim is about £40 - 50
The flywheel is a little like a brake disc. A circular metal affair that gets impacted regular by a friction plate (clutch disc) this over time scores grooves into the metal and odd Blue spots. The skim merely machines a layer off leaving you with a like-new surface.
Some will just use emery cloth to get a running-in surface for the new friction plate to wear into... it is half a job IMO
The technician will check the DMF for play, this is to do with springing back and forth, twist - distance etc there will be a small chance that you may need a new DMF, don't worry it is unlikely. Richard H may put up the relevant PDF to explain this in more detail if he gets a spare few minutes. Infact Richard would be a good person to PM as he is London area.
