Slipping Clutch

[Khadgar]

Well the topic description says how many miles are supposedly on the clutch. I did a few launches the past few days and now my clutch slips at around 3500. Did I really fry it that fast or is somthing else wrong.

Raptor you might have another customer for a clutch soon...

Man, I went through two stock clutches within 6 months of getting my car, and it was FWD! Those stock clutches blow, get an ACT and you'll be set for a while...

Mitsu designed th estock clutch to be the "fuse" in the driveline that gives before somethjing breaks. If you are making more power then you will need a better clutch.

man, I have had my stock clutch for over a year and it is still fine with mods. I think it is starting to slip at high rpms though. Nothing like 3500.

Mine stocker started slipping last fall after 2 years of normal driving with no mods. Feels weird to think I had no mods.

3500rpm range is probably where the higher torque peak is for him

My clutch slips until ~6800 when it finally engages after a launch. My stocker only has ~10,000 miles. I have a 2600 waiting to go in though.

I made one hard launch at RF this summer and the next run I made I didn't have anything after that gear... Barely made it off the track and now it drives fine.. But I have nearly no pressure on it. Oddly though it doesn't slip unless I push it. Even after the guys who saw me do it said I blew clutch smoke out from under my car, wish I could of seen that.

Damn stock clutches.

Smoking your clutch is because of a bad launch. That must have smelled nice.

Stank for a good hour or so. I know not to do that anymore.
