My clutch decided to quit working today while I was taking some logs. Here's what a slipping clutch looks like:



The orangish trace is RPM, which isn't nearly as linear as it should be. At least my AFR is still flat.

 

Looks exactly how I would think. This could be a great illustration to show people who don't exactly know how a slipping clutch affects the performance of the car.

 

I do what I can.

 

Slipping clutch FTL!

What clutch is this? My clutch slips when i crank the boost to 32lbs on the race map...on pump gas there is no hint of slippage...I have the Exedy Organic and she doesn't like lots of torque (wasn't thinking about the mods that i have on now back when i got it replaced)

 

Stock clutch. 17.7k miles. 5 autox events. Held well until now.

 

That clutch should hold well beyond that.

How far off the floor do you have the engage?

 

that actually looks pretty funny that clutch is gone!

 

Why would we need to log to detect a slipping clutch? Its pretty darn obvious when a clutch starts to slip. my .02 cents

 

I wasn't trying to prove my clutch was slipping. I knew it was. I just wanted to see what it looked like. I thought it was interesting and decided to show everyone else. I'll make sure to check with you before I post anything else.

 

Damn.....

I am still on the stocker, and I think she is starting to slip now...

But, I am also at 39,706 as of this morning...

About 30 AutoX's, a few trackdays, and a TON of goofing off. Only about 8 full blown launches though.... And I had to air the car out after every one of those launches too... He he...

 

 

Sorry to bring this back, but is there anyway the clutch would be on its way out and not actually be slipping? I'm wondering because my car is down on power yet there is no CEL, knock, compression is fine, and no boost leaks. Could the clutch be the culprit? I mean I have 32K on the stock clutch have nearly every bolt on and have done probably 100+ logs on my car to redline.

 

Inprogress, I was actually going to link this thread to your post about losing power due to clutch, but I see you found your way here .
