Go test it in 5th gear at around 2500rpm. Floor it 100%, and as boost builds, pay attention to your rpms. If they jump up real high right when boost peaks, but you aren't accelerating, and then the rpms fall back down and catch later, then your clutch is slipping.

Seriously, though, if it's happening in 2nd gear, it's almost gone. It usually is starts being noticeable in higher gears where there is higher load and doesn't get down to the lower gears until it's almost toast...

5,4,3,2,1 haha all of my gears, you could smell clutch too, maybe the guys at the body shop beat it up while it was getting repaired?

It was way bad I could hardley get it to mitsubishi

Now I got the exedy hd twin with the flywheel one rated for 535
I've never been more happy with the car I love the way everything feels its a stiff bish but well you kinda get used to it

To all of you that came to the first weekly Thursday night cruise, we had a huge turnout. I figured maybe ten cars at max but I was wrong when upwards of 20 cars showed up, and this thursday we expect even more. Thanks guys.

This week we are meeting in the upper parking lot at East High School in Salt Lake at nine.
(840 S 1300 E, Salt Lake City, UT)

The plan is to cruise up Emigration Canyon and down East Canyon to East Canyon Resevore, we hope to leave by 9:30. We will then drive down to Sonic on state street.

If you need any more info call me at 435-640-8115. Thanks

Cliffs Auto Repair (west jordan), he does good work and will do it fast. Cost me about $250 in labor plus the cost of the ACT clutch I bought online. His phone number is 801-304-3636.
