Okay I'm pretty sure my ACT MB7-XTSS clutch is starting to slip. The reason why I'm not certain is because it only happens in gears 3, 4, and 5 and ONLY when my EBC is turned on. I assume it's because of the load in the higher gears and doesn't slip on wastegate pressure due to less power, but I took a few vids of inside my car to get some help from you guys to figure out if it is slipping for sure or maybe just needs to be adjusted or something.

Car has 24xxx miles on it, ACT clutch has less than 10k miles.

Sorry for the bad quality...vids were taken with my mobile phone.

Def slippin..lol exedy twin tiime bud...And i see the ol check engine light on! haha..

 

Need a new clutch! My stock one did that for a week before it went out altogether

 

I r unhappy clutch

 

Do you launch your car alot?

 

eh, kind of; not like at every red light or anything but I just don't see the point in driving an evo and not launching the car. I knew the clutch would give out sooner or later with my driving style, just didn't think it would be so soon. I guess I'll have to think about which twin disk I should get now.

 

I have the same one you got and I can't wait for to die, pease die already. Shift lock all the Efin time.

 

can you smell the burnt clutch?

 

no I don't smell anything, but I thought ACT's didn't give any kind of smell like the stockers do?

 

maybe the pressure plate doesn't load the clutch properly...? is it adjustable?

 

done! Toast, bye-bye...hang her up!

 

not quite when I turn my EBC off it runs like a brand new car....maybe when it goes out completely I'll consider your carbonetics if it's still for sale.

 

Unfortunately I went through the same issue with my stocker when I first bought my car. My clutch went out at 14K miles (car had the same mileage). I brought it in to the dealership and they said they could only cover it to 14K but wouldn't cover mine since I had 14,300 on the clock. I ended up getting a SS clutch line, removed the restrictor pill and got the same clutch you have now. I have had ZERO problems with it and I've now got 78K on the car. My recommendation is to get the SS clutch line and remove the pill. Be good to the clutch for a couple hundred miles and see if that works for you. Did you break in the clutch properly?

The reason why you don't have this problem with the EBC off is because you're not running quite as much boost at that RPM since the WG is opened farther. Then again, I'm a complete moron.

 

Luck you that it is showing signs of slipping. Mine didn't show normal slipping signs, and ended up taking out 3rd and 4th gear on my 6spd trans. Look into spec clutchs, pretty good quality/performance for the money.

 

ya ur clutch is done for dont floor it anymore till you get a new one. I'd recommend QuarterMaster Twin disk that Devo Tuning sells
