My 01 disco clutch is slipping but only in 4th or 5th gear. This only happens on longer runs and on inclines. I've tried the usual clutch tests, steep hill starts etc and no slip, even when pulling caravan!! Friend thought it could be thrust bearing not moving freely on shaft. Any thoughts welcome before I go rippin out gearbox.

I'm was probably CLUTCHing:D at straws and delaying the inevitable. Goin to do the rear oil seal when i'm in there as well tho. As for the clutch itself, Valeo or Borg+Beck??
