Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Hey Ben,You could have air in the system and it may need a simple bleed, you can also adjust the clutch point as well. Is the clutch slipping at all on boost, any judder?What clutch is it and where are you based?Thanks,Toby Quote
BenV Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 it judders a bit when cold but thats it and ive only noticed it slip on 2 occasions when on boost. its suposed to be a trd clutch but i have no proof. how hard is it to bleed it? Quote
BenV Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 oh yeah im from bridgend in wales bud Quote
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Not to far from Kevins workshop if you do need help.It's pretty easy to do, locate the clutch bleed nipple on the slave cylinder at the front of the gearbox. Connect a bleed tube and crack off the nipple. Get someone to pump the clutch until the fluid comes through and make sure all the air is out of the system if there is any. Keep topping up the clutch cylinder and make sure it doesn't runner dry which will allow more air in. Once down close the nipple and pump up the pedal.A voila clutch bled Let me know how you get on and we will go from there. If it's slipping at all then it's really time to get a new clutch as it sounds passed it's sell by date.T Quote

BenV Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 got in the car today and she's slipping on boost Quote
BenV Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 could somebody please explain to me what happens when your clutch slips because ive taken my mate out now and he thinks its some thing completly differentBen Quote
BenV Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 ah that doesnt sound like it. in third the revs go up to say 4k and kinda get stuck and it feels like the car is being held back, but it still kinda make a reving noise Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 When the clutch first starts slipping it will do it only when the turbo boosts up.IE the revs will go up but the car wont pull in accordance.When it gets worse, it will slip more even without the turbo being on boost, and youll end up having to drive around in 2nd gear at a snails pace because it simply wont grip.Thats only severely worn clutch discs though.Basically, put ya foot down, revs go up but car doesnt pull = worn clutch.If the gears arent going in smoothly and youre having trouble selecting them , could be needing a bleed, adjustment of clutch pedal or a worn gear linkage.
