Well this how it went...was at wausau coming home because i notice my clutch was slipping and just when i got to oshkosh on highway 10 going to I-41 and BOOM I couldn't get into gear....Dang i just pulled over to the shoulder and said to myself...I am so sad...my clutch went out on me...it was a stock clutch having around 24k miles on it...had to get it towed home and the cost but i guess now I will be upgrading my clutch...just feel bad that I had to go through that ordeal but I guess it was my luck...and i just got done porting my exhaust parts...and it was raining...freaken gay

 

It just all of a sudden started slipping and stopped working in one day I mean mine started slipping about two months before it got to the point where it was nearly impossible to get into reverse or drive it

 

roadside added to insurance is 3 per month

just a thought

sorry for the bad day

 

yeah that day sucks. just before, i got ditched by my uhh, friend? for some drunk ugly chick.. made me walk home.. and i still dont even have a evo or gsx, let alone a car at all!!

 

naw it didn't happen in one day i think like 1 and half weeks when it started slipping but it wasnt that bad until that day...i was driving in my rpm around 3-5k rpm...i was trying to get back to milwaukee which was a 3 hour drive from wausau...

 

mine was good for a while after in noticed slipping....2-3 months, prob closer to 3

 

I had a clutch in my old nissan that was slipping for like 6 months and still never went out. Sounds like you have some bad luck my friend. Oh well she'll be back up and running in no time.

 

that's ****ty man time for a twin disk SPEC!

 

my clutch went from very little that wasn't very noticeable (thought it was some other problem at first) to full slipping one day. When the really noticeable slipping started it was only about 15 miles later that it went completely out. The car idled on every gear including reverse. The flywheel had heat scoring all the way through and needed a new flywheel.

 

Sorry to hear that man. Being stuck on the side of the road like that is no fun.

 

Sorry to hear about that man. How much is the upgraded clutch + install going to cost?

Reason I ask is because I have basic bolt ons (megan racing tbe, injen uic/lic piping, injen intake, turbosmart bov) on a stock clutch. The only thing I bought for my car is the tbe.

I had a local subaru STI owner talk to me about my car and said too bad I'm going to have to replace the clutch in about 15K miles....I was like what? I just got this stock clutch because the transmission had to get rebuilt and since I just bought the car (long story) I was short on cash so I couldn't get an upgraded clutch. I want the ACT II clutch assembly.

Is that really true with just basic bolt-ons, the stock clutch will take a **** as soon as 15K miles or around that???

 

Tuff luck man On the bright side better clutch to put in = more power capability

 

Just look at it in a positive way time to upgrade to something better!

 

Just this passed Sunday I had 2, yeah 2, intercooler split open. Nothing was open, and I had no extra couplers and had to get towed home

 

Just go easy on the clutch. Don't do any launches because that kills the clutch the fastest. You should be fine but to be safe just start saving for a clutch replacement. In any case if something else happens other than the clutch you'll have the money for it.
