2001 1800 Vvti 2Nd Clutch Slipping At 76,000 Miles?

[IgReilly]

(Estate) If I'm going go up a really steep hill slowly in 2nd and give too much throttle (or just over egg it) then the clutch slips. It does it in 3rd too. You do have to give it quite a lot of rice before it does it but it still pulls fine if you drive steadily, even with a full trailer on the back. Any Ideas......?

Just sounds to me that the clutch is on its way out again! Gearbox oil ok? wouldn't have thought gear oil is getting on the friction plate? Does the clutch smell?

Thanks, haven't checked the gearbox oil level but it smells fine, probably a new clutch then.
