Hi all,

 

Over the past week I've noticed that when I am at full throttle and approach full boost (14psi) at around 3-4k revs the engine suddenly revs high quickly but I don't go anywhere as though my clutch is slipping very badly.

 

I've had suspect thrust bearings since I bought the car and was wondering if it could be some other clutch-related issue, or I should just start crying now at the thought of paying out £520 for a new clutch :cry:

 

Cheers,

 

Brian

Yes its knackered, but buying a decent clutch is money well spent...

£520?

 

 

depends what one you get really.

 

i had an exedy single plate for £200. denough for my spec really (stage 1 mods)

 

 

if you can fit it yourself great. if not about £200 labour

yeah, I was looking at the fitted price from Zedworld. I reckon I could do it myself, so should be able to save a fair few pounds :)

 

The car's only chipped and got a cone filter and cat-back stainless exhaust so I don't need anything fancy, just something that will last a while!

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I've just been through the folder of history I've got, and the clutch was replaced less than 5,000 miles ago (in 2006). The clutch and associated parts cost £280 excluding labour.

 

Is it possible that the clutch has run in that short a time?

 

Also, the car was taken to zedworld twice in September 08 (~1k miles ago) for a service & other bits & bobs. Wouldn't they have advised if the clutch was on its way out?

 

Is there anything else that could cause the clutch to slip?

 

cheers

um no i dont think they would have been able to tell the clucth was slipping 1000 miles ago,

 

 

as it only could have just started to slip.
