If it doesnt slip there your pretty safe Well if I am travelling at 40kmh and put it in fifth, the revs sit just under 1000rpm. I then put the foot down and the car struggles to accelerate but the clutch manages to hold on okay. It does hold on up until boost kicks in and then the speedo literally jumps from 80/90 all the way up to 120, but the car is not going any faster. I take it the clutch is slipping at this point, but I get no smell in the cabin. I also check the rear view mirrors for smoke incase the tires have lit up, but not the case.

You think a 2nd hand F6 turbo will do the job on 98? or even a 2nd hand one off a BF? Any more supporting mods you think I should go with? It wont be getting hammered flat out so ill take the risk lol Thanks heaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont always smell, smell just means you have put a sh*tload of heat into it. You will probably find the discs arent that worn, probably seriously damaged by heat though. Just not enough clamping force to stop it slipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aggressive on ramp of boost is breaking the clamp pressure. Will be fine to cruise on until you can replace but dont go smashing it and kicking it etc etc replace as soon as you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
