The vehicle listed above is a Nissan Quashqui, it has just had a new clutch fitted. Since having this done, I thought there was a slight vibration to the car, even when idling. I took the car onto the motorway today for the first time since a new clutch was fitted and when the car reached 60 MPH it would accelerate no further. Also, the revs were a constant 2000 RPMs when attempting to accelerate. I had my foot to the floor but both RPMs and MPH stayed at 60 MPH and 2,000 RPMs. Could this be connected to the new clutch being fitted?

It sounds like the clutch was not installed correctly and it is slipping and making the engine vibrate. What happens if you downshift to accelerate? Can you make a video of what the car is doing so I can see what's going on? Also, we should run the codes. this guide can help us:

Please run down this guide and report back.
