its not a bent power steering pump pulley, I have that particular mod on mine as well and it's been that way for around 50,000 miles.

this is exactly what my car is doing, and its the clutch slipping. Take it or leave it, I'm just sayin'. turn the boost way down and see if it goes away.

 

It doesnt go away, its with very little gas or alot of gas.

 

you must be kidding right?

 

dunno what to tell you, the stock clutch slips, yes, rpms go up, car goes nowhere. if you have a clutch with a higher clamp load/different kind of friction surfaces that can heat up and grab, it will rock the engine back and forth, violently.

It feels like wheel hop. Tellin' ya. my ****'s been doing it for a month. Another guy had the same symptoms when his let go. There are other people on the forum that have had the same symptoms and same results.

Take it or leave it, but its easier to turn the boost way down to see than it is to track down some serpentine belt on a whim about a bent pulley.

 

I stand corrected, never seen you. Ok must be 1 of 2! haha

 

there are 2 VIII's, 1 IX MR and 1 X other than you and a couple of us know quite a bit about these cars.

 

It doesnt feel like wheel hop though, the car is being pulled left and right. And the clutch is freakin new, no launches, car is just a dd! The car only has a tbe, tune, and k&n drop in filter.

 

Awesome, I live in Portales so thats prolly why Ive never seen any of em. Sending you a pm!

 

dude we're all in the military so pay attention when your on base i'm sure you will see us. the names of the other guys here in ****hole NM are Boricua_Evo, and sleeper04

 

FIXORED!#!1!

First I ruled the power steering out, start with the easiest solution first. BTW after 3 trips to the auto store, its a 35" belt (part #350K6) to delete your power steering and ac.

Went for a drive and boy was the steering rock hard, even when rolling, more than it should be and it would pull to the right hard under acceleration but still yanking left a little under acceleration.

So I got to looking at the axles, I knew my tranny and diff were good, and I knew the clutch was good. All of the axles looked fine. I was like wtf. Well you could see a tad of what looked like grease spray by the passenger side axle. But it looked really old and it wasnt alot and the boot was clean. So I went ahead and pulled the axle and found about a 1" slit in it. It felt really slutted out when you turned it in the tranny too. Pulled it, luckily I had some evo axles laying around, swapped it out went and beat on it and it pulls smooth as ever under all variations of load.

w00t
