quick question...2012 GSR with 42000 miles clutch is slipping, not bad but it does, what would you recommend? there's so much **** out there to pick from, just want to hear your input, options.
Thanks

 

I would just stay stock, but if you do upgrade your clutch to a stage 2, make sure to get an upgraded clutch master cylinder while your at it.

 

This. It's what I have and the clutch is just awesome. I didn't get my CMC upgraded but Moore Automotive told me that if you get the recall done for the CMC then you should be fine, which is what I had already done. I've had the clutch for almost a month and a half and coming up on 1500 miles with it. No issues at all

 

Yes you have the same mods as me and i just had a Comp stage 2 put in for me. Future mods are e85, supporting fuel mods and a tune. it should carry me close to 500hp. but ill stay at near 400. so either get just enough or Exedy twin disc.

also inspect the clutch release fork for odd wear, mine broke and I thought it was the clutch. and there is a recall for the master cylinder.

 

How do you like the comp stage 2 so far ?

 

can i just get just get the plate or do i need whole kit?

 

I love it. Its takes more leg to push it down but after 700miles on it I can't remember what stock feels like. It grips super hard you'll relearn how to engage form a stop, like any other clutch upgrade. I have 136k on my car so I can really tell that I need engine mounts now.

 

You need to understand how a clutch works first and all the components in it. From the engine you have the flywheel, the clutch disc, then the the pressure plate, and your thrust out bearing snaps inside of the pressure plate. You could only need a pressure plate or you could need a clutch disc. You really won't know until you can take a look at it. There is a rubber plug under the bell housing that will let you see from the bottom up. If this your daily driver replace it all. If not and you can let it sit. Take it apart and fix only what's broken.

Thanks BlackHawk...it is my DD, i know how clutch works but i also heard two different answers, that's why i ask, the car will be going to a mechanic since i have no place to do it at my place anyway so i guess i will have them just check it out..thanks guys

 

No offense, I was really saying that to those who really don't know. In the case that someone reading this thread didn't know. Yeah, I had a member do mine for me. I don't have the equipment.

 

A clutch swap is doable but not easy. I would suggest, unless you absolutely guarantee that you are not going to mod the car, that there are much better aftermarket options. CC, ACT, you name it. Do that and a CMC and no matter what, you'll sleep better.
