Aston problems

2nd that..but a little more throttle usually means the clutch is finished..a AM tech at the dealer can check your clutch bit count and give you an estimated clutch life usage/remaining..1200bits= new, 1600bits=50%, 1700bits=finished no drive available..there is only 1mm of wear from 1200bits to 1650, once clutch is 50%, drivability issues start to show up and clutch needs to be replaced..hehe this is the reason "launch control" is not talked about in the owners manual, yet all AM cars can do it..just on a Vantage you get 3 launchs, the 4th launch you better have a flatbed phone number ready...from what I've seen, depending on driving area..clutch life usually ranges from 10,000km to 45,000km, 90% of the time 12,000-25,000km..

How about a little more basic info to help troubleshoot this.....
Year/mods/mileage? When did this start happening? Were there any changes to the car that corresponded with it including maintenance work being done (oil change, brake fluid, etc)? Is it consistent or only happen sometimes like when the car is warm or cold? Any other information would be helpful too...
