940 Turbo overeving 900 1992

I occasional get an over rev when accelerating hard. The car is a 940 Turbo with overdive and a manual box. Typical symtoms appear when I accelerate in third or fouth; there is an increase in engine revs without the increase in speed.

Initial feelings that it may be clutch slip or clutch slip in the overdrive unit.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

called 'flare' and your initial impressions are correct...slipping clutch/overdrive. 900 1992

Bring it up to 50mph in 3rd or fourth (somewhere around 3500 rpm, your choice/speed) and use full throttle with your other foot on the brake to maintain speed....engine speed should not increase.
