Lawsy Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey guys, just a quick one!Last few times ive driven my car, mainly in high boost and i put my foot down to accelerate, the revs pick up and the boost lights light up but no speed being gained. Im pretty sure its the clutch slipping, but just wanted some reasurance before i fork out on a new one? It doesnt happen all the time though :S? Got caught out today as i went to over take and found myslef stuck in the path of oncoming traffic...oops!It pulls away fine and bites fine, but just when you boot it in high boost it slips, anyone else had the same problem?And obviously i want to get this fixed asap, woudnt mine going for a slight upgrated clutch - any ideas?Regards Stu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blitz Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 yes sounds like a clutch mine did the same between 3500 it would then just rev upto 4500 then bite and go, i have the exedy in mine depends how much you are going to mod it in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smithy_dub Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I might have this problem, like i tried proper launching yesterday and just as it pulled off the revs dropped wayy back down and it kinda stumbled forward...See i thought i had some kind of misfire problem with my car hesitating under acceleration and idling a bit low / lumpy, but when i start the car from cold it idles higher for like 20 seconds to warm up, so i dont think it's a misfire, ive never had a clutch go before but i think it could be a possibility.....
