Alright guys, ive got a weird problem with my cav v6 clutch. When changing from 1st to 2nd the engine starts laboring when in 2nd and wont rev its the feeling you would get if you tried to pull away in 5th gear. To to get it back going again i have to rev the car hard with the clutch pedal to the floor and let the clutch out quick and there will be a loud clunk and then its all back to normal. Does anyone have any idea whats going on the clutch is 2years old and has been good as gold until now and has not been abused?

it's definitely 2nd you're finding? Like the revs only drop a couple of thousand?

Yep its definitely just going into 2nd when im in high rev band, then revs drop and just labors like its in 5th gear something is sticking or catching. And to get back going again press clutch down rev hard and let the clutch out hard theres a loud clunk and its back to normal. Im thinking my gearbox is on the way out or the clutch friction disc is sticking on pressure plate or flywheel. But i can't understand why.
