The Rover-Landers of BC

Hi Bryan,

What year, type, model rover is it?

Is it something new, or has it always been that way?

How long have been driving the truck?

Did you recently put bigger tires on it?

It could be a clutch problem. The clutch plate does alot to smooth the engagement of drive to the transmission. If the springs are wornout or the friction material is glazed it may cause the type of symptoms your describing.

There is no way to test the clutch for that kind of problem, other than to know what's normal. It may be normal.

If the truck has been sitting for a long time the clutch could be have been partially siezed and rust coated.

You should have someone whos knows rovers drive it and determine if it's normal. If not, it sounds like a clutch job may be in order.

If you can get to the North Shore, I'll take it around the block for you.

Good Luck!!

Don
