slipping clutch!!! >=(

[boostjunkie333]

So as of the last week i have slowly been losing power.

Today, it got so bad i cant even go over 30mph...

The clutch is slipping almost completely, but i have an almost new clutchmasters stage IV in it, and was doing fine until now. What are some causes and fixes for a slipping clutch like this??

To be sure the clutch hasnt worn out yet...under normal driving

Once your clutch has started slipping there is no fix for it. If you replace it right away and do not allow it to slip a lot then you may be able to get away with just replacing the disk. If you allow it to slip a lot trying to get the car to move your just warping up your flywheel and pressure plate which will also have to be replaced if its messed up bad.

O yea and those clutches suck IMO

Holy shit 5 threads... I think thats a new record

hey what stage is your zoom clutch??

[steviek]

stage is such a relative thing stage doesn't mean jack shit. Look for clamping force and what type of disc.
For your setup ACT 2100 w/ street disc I would recommend I have had a really good experience with ACT> Can't say the same for exedy (cerametallic stage 3 or 2) or stock. Clutchmaster I heard was shit. ZOOM i hear makes decent clutches. Fidanza makes good flywheels etc etc
Exedy does make a really good twin clutch but thats way overkill for you.
just don't want you to think I am knocking the brand

hows this one? doesnt say howmuch power itll hold, and im shooting for about 400 hp when its all said and done, do you think this clutch kit will do me justice?

well it has a 4 puck which is pretty hardcore. My setup I use a 6 puck and it shakes the car every now and then when I don't engage it quite right. The 4 puck I mean it will hold but streetability is going to go down the tubes. It really should say what clamping force they put with it but if its mated with a 4 puck chances are its a 2600 or 2900 which is plenty.

[steviek]

I use a sprung six puck you are looking at an unsprung 4
If I were you I would go with the sprung 6 puck and a 2600 if you want to maintain streetability and 400hp. Cough my set up cough

I am running a stg 2 disc with a heavier pressure plate. I am running a full circle disk with kevlar but I think you can only buy the 4 puck. Kevlar engages just as smooth as a factory disc but holds more power and wont glaze over like a stock disc. Its really a nice setup and will hold anything you can throw at it since your fwd. Tires will break way before the clutch will slip.

[boostjunkie333]

lol, thanks guys...ill repost up here whichever clutch i buy...prob the one i posted or one a little bit less than that if i can find one with better streetability

[boostjunkie333]

So i talked to the local tranny guy in the city i live in, and they can order just about anything i want, and he sugested after hearing my setup that i get a zoom clutch kit...
