Whats wrong with my car???

I have MBC, Turboback, fuelpump,intake,jdm mr diverter and Dynoflash the car was running good with this mod for about 3 months. But yesterday i noticed during accerleration my rpm would stop rising for quick 1/4sec and drop 500rpm and starts to accelerate hard. I haven't notice this happening during hard 1st 2nd 3rd wot acceleration but when cruising let say 60 mph droping it to 3rd it would jump to 5k rpm and hold 5k then drop to 4.5k and accelerates hard. same goes to 4th gear and 5th gear wot. any one else facing this prob?

my boost is set at 21 psi and doesnt seem to drop. what can it be wrong with my car????

I Agree! if it acts kinda like a Auto TRANSMISSION then it def the clutch going. Take it really easy until you get new clutch.

It's only warrantied for 12k, so it's too late to try. If you have any future warranty claims, yes, you should probably remove the mods, but you won't get the clutch replaced unless they are extremely nice.

Call and ask. The stock clutch is warrantied for 12k, but almost no one has actually been able to get it done for free due to mods and/or claimed abuse by the dealer. It's worth a call, and if they tell you to come in for them to check it out, remove your mods.

NO bull they gonna find something to say about your driveline to void it.

Why not just get an upgraded one anywayz if your going to be modding? Well ACTUALLY if you can get it under warranty that can give you time to get your money ready for a READ CLutch. I actually here the 6puck with the stock Pressure plate isnt bad.

I'll be a wear and tear item unless it really fails for no reason. The clutch is slipping letting me to believe it's extrememly worn. You should know if you drove your clutch hard or if it just failed under normal driving. You make the call.
