well today i go outside and my cars in the street i live on a steep hill with a steep driveway i put the car in first with no emergency brake and now my car pulls it self right out of gear or more like it slips backwards catches in gear and slips again untill its in the street when runnin it doesnt slip do i have a big problem or just a slippin clutch my pedals all the way out basically when the clutch engages car has 55,000 miles

 

I'd say you need a new clutch. I'm in the same boat although I've yet to experience the same kinds of sliping you have seen.

I'm at 35,000 miles right now and I'm experiencing similar problems. Right now when I'm in first, trying to accelerate, my car crawls to 20mph. Instead of accelerating normally from first to second, in second my car revs high and the revs don't drop. The clutch will finally catch at around 40mph at around 4500 rpms but by that time it's time to switch gears to third. Third does the same BS and when it is time to switch gears to fifth it's taken 5 seconds to get to the shift point.

God forbid I'm the first to a light, I just sit there. It's sooo sad. I'm ordering a clutch today. I think I'm going with Works Stage 1. It's all I have the money for. But something is better than nothing.

damn man thats alot worse then mine ya i plan on gettin stage 3 and a findanza flywheel to help out my turbo so will see how that feels hey if u install urs urself could u snap me some pics i never done a clutch install but do know **** about an engine

 

its possible that you need a new clutch, mine was just fine at 57k, but i had to replace it since i had to get the slave cylinder replaced. there are several on here that had their clutch go much sooner than 55k, so you should probably look into it.

 

ya i am lookin into ill prob install that and a flywheel bfore i finish my turbo project

 

Mine went out at 35,600 miles...

my stock clutch still going strong at 60,000 plenty of spirited driving experiences as well

 

wow i'm at 70000 on the stock clutch

 

wow 70000! im at 56000 and really need a clutch i am in the same boat with shingen car drives like crap

 

ok well back to my question does anyone else know if this is just the clutch cause when i drive even driving it hard it wont slip

 

well parking on a hill w/o an e-brake could cause unneseccary stress on it. mabye its a little worn out but as long as its not slipping while driving you should be fine.

 

that's what i keep telling myself too. i notice mine getting more and more worn out but it has yet to ever slip. i'm keeping my eye on the rrm stage 2 but until my stock clutch is completely dead, may as well save the money
