It feels as though it isn't in gear. You hear the engine spinning and see the rpm's rise but the car feels like its been de-clutched and doesn't shoot off violently like it should. This even happened to me in 1st gear taking off at the lights.

Could this be the traction control taking over or do you think its more like clutch slip? My car's only 6 months old so I don't think its the clutch. My CDV has been removed by the way.

Any ideas..

Thanks
Sounds more like your clutch is going. Traction control usually cuts power, not let the engine spin freely.
