I was driving the other night, and took a friend out, and first off i have launched this thing no more then a dozen times since i got the clutch. Now its only been inthere for maybe 5k miles. and the other night I launched it not even that hard, and it slipped the heck out of it, It spun the tires and then when i shifted into second i noticed slipping really bad. Now the car wasnt cold the temp gauge was normal, but i hadnt been driving that long, now was the clutch not warmed up?


Did I just destroy my clutch? or was it not warmed up? does this clutch have to warm up before its prime?

I have heard you should but it scared me cuz its never done that before.


thanks for any info,

 

ceramuumatalic or full carbon?

 

I think with the power level you're at , its pushing the limits of the clutch.

 

if its carbon then your fine, if its ceremetallic you might me ***ed

 

cerametallic.... everyone said it was plenty.... even AMS.

crap this sucks. well its never slipped before thats the thing.
I have launched it hard before also.

doesnt make sense, i have heard though that this clutch needs to warm up.

 

and btw dyno'd on a mustang dyno, it is tuned conservativly at 316whp.

at 21psi. so im not pushing crazy numbers

 

I had a similar problem To yours i think ur clutch is gone.... sorry when they take it apart make sure that it was installed properly..

 

hmm, who did the install, that plays a roll as well, i had the same clutch in my '03 installed by AMS and it worked flawlessly....Launch after Launch after Launch. With the Mods you have listed there is know way that clutch should fail

 

my point exactly..... it should be fine, but its only done it once, and if it continues, well then i know for a fact it is shot,and the shop that installed it... i dont even want to go there.

man the things you would do differently if only you knew before....
