Clutch help 2.2 i-CTDi

[classfreedom]

Hi everyone, new member here.
Picked up an immaculate Accord i-CTDi on a 2007 plate with only 56k genuine miles.
Car works perfectly and is strong in all the gears, but i notice when i give it a bootfull or overtake in 3rd and 4th gear when it hits 2500rpm the clutch will slip momentarily, once backed off, the clutch will catch and i can carry on accelerating. (this is sporadic)

I guess the reason for the post is i have read every single thread on this site and the civic site about all the 2.2 engines clutch issues and troubles and am terrified ive just bought a car that needs a £850 clutch change could this be a case of early clutch failure ? self adjusting pressure plate not working correctly ? or this cruise control switch adjustment not correctly positioned ( what even is this mechanism can it be self adjusted) ?

any help would be appreciated, seen people having to replace the DMF and clutch but not untill 150 to 200k miles so what could be happening in my case ?

any help would be appreciated !

Most garages can tackle this car now, and you don’t need to replace the flywheel unless it’s out of tolerance. A lot of flywheels get changed just because it’s easier to do while the transmission is out. A clutch kit is not expensive and labour should be typically around £200.

It only needs a new clutch if you going to continue to give it a bootfull in 3rd or 4th. Drive it steadily and the current clutch can last for 10's of thousands more miles.
