Car drive perfectly fine otherwise, and clutch holds fine under boost. There just seems to be an issue when im launching up hill or reversing up an incline, etc. I'm not riding the clutch or anything, literally just feels like the clutch can't engage properly as soon as there is a hill or incline that I'm driving up.. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know the best place to order a new CSC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, while you're at it, get a remote bleeder line as it'll make maintaining your clutch fluid much easier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm the remote bleeder as I used it to bleed my clutch fluid a few months back. If it has the remote bleeder im sure it is the metal CSC as part of the mal wood kit. I will order a CSC and take it to the shop to inspect. Is there anything else I should order/replace if im changing the CSC? Spigot, thrust bearing or anything?

The rest is just a matter of doing the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use an inspection USB camera to check the clutch internals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
