Clutch started slipping today
This morning I was greeted to hitting full boost at 3500 and then watch my rpms slip to 4500 where it then grabbed. My question is this, right now I do not have the funds for the clutch and install so I was wondering how long it would be driveable for? It only slips if I punch it and hit full boost. I'm running 350hp/350trq. Can I squeeze a month out of it? Thanks.

Every time I hit 4000 rpms in the Evo I cross my fingers . The knowledgeable ones here will tell you to stay out of boost if you want it to last a while. Good luck on that one.

Stay out of boost. You don't necessarily have to shift at lower RPMs, as that actually loads the clutch a bit more. Once they start to slip, stock clutches tend to stop working fairly quickly.

Right now I'm looking at either the RPS street Max or ACT Xtreme. I can get them both for the same price so it's a toss up.
