kazuhiko Member 39 Member For: 10y 4m 9d Posted 06/01/14 10:46 AM Share Posted 06/01/14 10:46 AM Hey guys,At 70k, I find my clutch is getting very lazy and the friction point is pretty much at the very top of the pedals pivot now, even slipped pretty hard with a second gear clutch kick. Im not chasing big power, probably won't even get an edit, but I do like to give the car/clutch a hard time with some fun so I don't think another stock clutch will do. So I'm looking to hear what you guys are running in your manual Fg 6 speed manuals.What kind of power you making, what kind of clutch have you got and its power rating and what you spent on it if you guys don't mind?Joe.

Clutch is rated to 410kw and cost me 1850, I recommend if you do change your clutch get the remote bleeder, I didn't and I am pissed I didn't. I don't however clutch kick it, the wheels spin on their own under boost. Edited 06/01/14 07:56 PM by unclewal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm manual no slip and on 55000ks.. There is a few guys who were running low 300rwks with stock clutch... There was actually one guy running low 400s with stock FG clutch on here Edited 07/01/14 01:07 AM by Pazzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard one drops fluid in the bellhousing and an asshole to get to, remote bleeder sits on the side of the box and allows you to access and bleed the clutch effortlessly.

But I kicked it, it slipped hard and smelled for the rest of the day every time I started the car, so I figure replace the thing and have it reliable enough whilst I own it.

It will slip the clutch and ride it hard.your cabin will smell pretty bad for the rest of the day.Instead of using the launch control, turn traction control off and launch it on your own.Also if you are dumping the clutch to get the wheels to spin, don't. as said before just get them to spin on their own at boost.

I used to do this in my old rx7 and it would light the rears up something fierce, the xr just slipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
