Hey guys ive been having some trouble recently after i launched my car with some of my friend in it to show them what a launch was. Ive done it countless of times having owned the car for so long and never had this problem before. I get the car rolling and let go of the clutch quickly without dumpint. Smelt some burt clutch right after but went away very quickly.(tldr: Now on the freeway im having my clutch slip in forth and fifth gear when underload but 1st second and third dont slip.... so what the **** is my real question.... shouldnt a clutch be slipping where theres more tuorque from gears not the higher ones...)

 

You'll see the clutch start to slip in the higher gears first. Reason is there is less of a mechanical advantage in the higher gears, they take more work to turn than lower ones (including extra work overcoming the air since you're traveling faster). Your clutch will wear out eventually, especially if you have launched it countless times. Sounds like its time for a new one to me.

 

you need a new clutch.

 

Do you guys know of any clutches perfect for around 350-400 whp? That could take up to 450ish im planning on an fp green, 272 rods and e85 installs in the future to hit that power. I know id want a lightened fly wheel but what are some companies to look out for and ones to go for ?
Thank you guys for always helpin

 

The advice noted up above is pretty sound for sure. My stock clutch did the same while driving on the freeway

Anyway, sounds like you need the ACT HDSS. Many of us run that. Ive been in the 400+ WHP for years w/the ACT

Now, if your headed toward higher Dyno Jet WHP, the Exedy multiplate types may be in order

 

Ahh thank you guys, also final question before imma off to look into clutches. What if i get that clutch for my future build of 350 ish whp but my car is stock ish rn will my cars power be able to use that clutch?

 

The ACT HDSS will work for a stock application. Its like the OEM clutch but a bit more robust for sure! It certainly drives like a stocker. Super smooth!

 

Ive heard some stories with 4 puck clutches and 6 puck just looked and saw some. They said these catch strong would that be a good choice for me if i track my car and take it to the canyons ?

 

Nah, Sounds like the ACT is what ya need. The puck type, especially an unsprung type are very tough to drive & are hard on the drivetrain

Ive been using the same ACT HDSS since i was tuned on E85 (10 years ago). Power levels from 400 to 460 Dynojet WHP. Many miles on the same ACT

 

Ahh thanks guys for all youre help, cheers

 

Might want to check into the ACT clutch July special price they have going on. 30% off i believe.
