I have a 87 4 speed manual, I left her sitting for one month while in Asia.
When I got back and took her for a drive I found the clutch slipping at times, after a couple of drives she has settled down and is ok now.
Any idea's, thanks

Maybe she was pissed off I didn't take her on a camping holiday

I had the same thing happen to me with one of my old westys. What I think happened is oil on the clutch disk.
That's probably what is was. If it's driving fine now then just smile and keep on trucking.
