The clutch on 405 used to slip sometimes when it was full of people and

Ignore it till it starts slipping a lot. I've known clutches get really
hot and slip like hell, then be fine after after the glaze has worn off.

Another Italian tuneup job then? But is that with the clutch being
slipped a lot or dumped at 3500rpm a few times?
