I was told that it was capable of holding 350rwks. I've got 290 kws at the wheels but ran the clutch in for 1000kms on my low boost tune. Once I had clocked up 1000kms a few days ago I switched over to my high boost tune. Clutch was great for a few days, but now is slipping and burning just like my stock one. I've never really been in this situation and don't really know what to do, I just want to stop spending money -.-What are my options, never really been in this situation......Cheers Mitch Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55023-clutch-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a product issue they should replace it - although it can be hard to claim warranty on clutches. If the installation was wrong you should have felt it anyway..
