    Hi Everyone. My Devon has a clutch problem. When engaging 1st gear and let the clutch out, it starts to grip and then vioently engages and I shoot forward unless I disengage it.

    However, if I engage reverse gear and let the clutch out, it engages normally.

    Any suggestions please.

    Sounds as though clutch is on its way out. My Somerset used to do exactly the same thing. You had to set off in Second to avoid it. Turned out the plate was down to the rivets.

    Thank you for your reply Bruce. I was worried that might be the case. Not looking forward to doing it.
