Hello all,

i was wondering when do i know if i need a new clutch? cause for eample is it normal that the rpm goes up to 4 when i am on 160 and 6th gear?

thx alot, total newbie here

 

What? - In the world are you trying to say?

160mph? - 4 rpm's?

You need to be clear in your sentence structure.

However, you'll know when you need a new clutch, you'll hit the gas and your car wont move. - Or it will lag before it kicks in.

ECS Tuning has a great Stage 1 clutch. - I have it installed myself. - It holds like no ones business. - I used this week while attending an autocross event. - I never had a problem downshifting.

Best of luck, and try to be more clear in the future! [8D]

 

Are you speaking english? Can you try and re-phrase that sentence to make sense? Thanks

 

It almost seems like a weak attempt to fish for pats on the back for going 160mph @ 4000rpm in 6th.

... not very subtle... and not very well done. Just say... "Hey look at me!.." next time.

 

sorry, its 160km/h on 4rpm and 6th gear, thats what i meant is it normal? or the rpm is a bit high

 

hmm... thats 100mph. that sounds about right. Im at right about 3100rpm at 80mph (128kph)

 

When you give it gas and the tach goes, but not the car. That is called slippage and take it from someonewho has been left on the side of the highway with a blown clutch, Change it ASAP.

 

Cincy, could that also go for a chipped 225's TIP collapsing? I dont smell any clutch or anything from the engine when it happens, I hope its my TIP and not my clutch!

 

Im sure it would feel about the same. Plus if your not smelling anything, its more than likely your car choking. If it bucks, deff the intake.

 

However, if your RPM's are still increasing, but your speed is not, it is likely clutch slippage. They don't always give off a strong smell. The TIP collapsing will cause a lose of power, but the engine speed will be reduced directly (RPM's stop going up as MPH do.)
