Something I noticed tonight and it happened once before is that when I redline in 1st and shift to second, it doesn't seem to grab anymore, it kind of sits there once I let out the clutch and the rpms go down to about 5,000 and then it grabs. I can't seem to get enough torque to even get a scratch. I embarresed myself twice racing a Type-R, I was even with it in first and once I hit second it's like the car just died until it seemed to grab again? Is that a sign of a slipping clutch or is it something worse? My Centerforce Dual Friction is sitting right here on my desk waiting to go in, but I was just curious as to the common symtoms to a bad clutch.

 

When your Clutch is slipping the RPM'S will rise up really fast then go back down. My Clutch bit the dust today{85% gone), I can still drive my car but not for much longer, luckely I happen to have a Centerforce Clutch sitting on my Desk too.

 

i was wondering how many miles you guys have on the clutch? and is your centerforce clutches white by any chance?? oh Emax, juss wondering how do you know yours is about 85% gone without removing it?

 

My clutch is %100 gone and I have a centerforce clutch in the mail

 

I'm at 41,000 miles on my car. I have the Centerforce Dual Friction and the color of it is Duke's of Hazard Orange.

 

I'm curious on how you guys go thru clutches so quickly? Do you slip them a lot on launch or something? I've got 65000 miles and my clutch has still got a ton of life and never slipped after 35+ 1/4 mile passes.

Easy, the SC put a tone of Strain on it. My I30 has 43K miles and the Clutch was as good as new a few weeks ago, but as soon as Super Charged my car the Clutch turned to moosh.



Turbo95Max, Sorry it is actually 88% gone now. No really it is just a guesstament. If I push on the gas pedal more then like 1/2 way the RPM's rise up and the car does not move. I had to replace my Clutch on my 95 max and now that when it starts slipping this bad that it is on it's way out and soon, maybe today!, I will just have to go out and see. LOL

 

The first clutch went out on my car at around 60K. . . The next one went out at ~80K, only about a year and a half later, damn dealership when they replaced it the first time somehow put a warped flywheel back in the car, and it caused the clutch to fail prematurely. It wasn't from hard driving either because I had just got the car a month before it went out from my mom. . . At least she felt partially responsible and paid for half of it. . . That was lucky.
