was drivin g along the road and well its hard to explain... the car seemed to start to take off very slow and it was jamming not going to second, carried on driving then stopped...
i went to pull off at the trafic lights and then there was high revs, and the car mooved off very slowly seems like there is no action in the gears 1,2 or 3 when it gets momentum its fine. but then stop and it bad.
also smell like burning rubber. and lifted the hood up and smell is stonger it seems reverse gear seems to be fine tho.... ??
any one?

no idea never done a clutch mate,
and if your trying to pull away in 3rd and 5th then you'll just be burning the clutch out and that smell will just get stronger, and your going to make the situation worse, maybe to the point were you lose clutch completely, nip down to a garage and ask them to take a look
