Clutch slippage or wheel spin??
I barely ever beat on my car, but lately I have been 👍🏼 I was driving around town and noticed every time I did a 3rd or 4th gear pull (in boost) the rpms would shoot right up... I did a 5th gear pull on the hwy, doing about 45-50ish and it didn’t shoot up like the other gears. I’m currently running a exedy triple disc, that I rebuilt back in Feb. 2017. I’m going to check my tire pressure in the morning to see what they are at. Just wanted to hear what you guys thought. Thanks
Btw, the car runs and drives fine. Doesn’t act up under normal driving.

I have both, if the 8-leg (race version) grabs I have wheel spin, if the 8-leg does not grab, there is clutch slippage.
Both events have similar characteristics, the difference between the two is that on clutch slippage rpm shoot up but the car barely moves, while on tyre spin, the rpm also shoot up but the car moves much more than when the clutch is slipping.

Also, why do you have an exedy triple for such little power?

I make those numbers on low boost on pump gas, with E and 37psi I make 792 👍🏼

After further investigating and different tests. It is definitely clutch slip. I just rebuilt this clutch a little over a year ago and maybe have 3 track passes and maybe a handful of street passes. Im going to take it apart and see what’s going on with it. If I have to replace it, I’ll probably end up going with the 8 leg setup
