Series 3 gear problems

Simply car at standstill engine running with handbrake on, in first gear and try and gently pull away, it is stalls shes a goodun, if the revs rise and you dont move then you have a clutch problem.
Do not torture the clutch when carrying out this test, if it stalls then thats good enough.
Could be as simple as oil on friction plate or just sticky splines etc, and simply using it has fixed it.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. So no throttle just ease off the clutch?
