Over the past few weeks, I've noticed my clutch begin to slip when accelerating in 4th or 5th gear. RPMs would jump for a second, then drop back down and car would begin accelerating. The issue was reproducible every time.

Brought the car in for an oil change. Now I can't get the clutch to slip under the circumstances described above. Everything seems back to normal. Does this make any sense? Definitely happy not to replace the clutch.

Have a DD Evo X with ~75k miles. Still on the stock clutch.

 

 

That's my understanding as well. Just searching for explanations. I can't get the clutch to slip by any means.

Should I count my blessings, or would you think it's worth considering clutch replacement?

 

I would plan for a clutch replacement in the near future.

 

I've never even heard of a stock clutch making it that far!

Oil change shouldnt have anything to do with that unless maybe you have a manual boost controller that got turned down? Or possibly they knocked off a vac line or something like that. That would make the car produce less power, and possibly not overpower the clutch.

 

 

X's don't have an adjustable pedal/master linkage like the 8/9. Also, that being out of adjustment won't cause a clutch to slip.


OP, as what STM said, check for something not put back together correctly. Vacuum lines off, air intake misassembled, etc.


Clutches don't generally just stop slipping.

 

I'm on stock clutch and i just recently passed 90k miles on my x! It's seen a handful of launches too
