jimmyfingers Member 6 Member For: 17y 2m 23d Gender: Male Posted 20/08/12 08:58 PM Share Posted 20/08/12 08:58 PM G'day,Ive got a 2004 BA MkII XR6T with 160,000 K's on the clock and recently when I have gone to overtake or something and the car has hit full boost, the revs have jumped up around 250-500 Rpm and then settled back to the appropriate level as the car accelerates. Obviously it sounds like the clutch is slipping, I just find it strange that once it slips, it is gripping again without any modulation of the throttle. I would have thought once it had slipped, the only way to stop it would be to remove some of the torque?Thoughts?

This would reduce the amount of torque going through the clutch and allow it to grip again.Either way, check out Mal Wood options for replacement Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81549-slipping-clutch-or-something-else/#findComment-1282181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And start to happen earlier on in revs with less load and eventually lower gears.Eaxh time it slips it will create hot spots on the flywheel and pressure plate then loose it's coefficient of friction and just continue to get worse.

If it slips start looking for a replacement.

And the poor girl has longer ratios than std.
