how to tell if cluctch is starting to slip

[jayc-glanza17]

heya guys, my clutch feels bit weak from a stationaery start.
ie i oull away and and feel car judder, at say 1500-2000 revs to pull away, yet is fine at every other aspect,
my clutch starting to go?

also the revs will pick up without gaining that much speed if that makes sence!

 

[jayc-glanza17]

kind of a lil like that,
but i do pick up speed, but is a judder for sure whilst trying to pull away from stand still.

mine used to be fine until 3k then into the rev limiter! but it was slipping toomuch!

have you recently changes you clutch?

drive in about 4th gear at about 2500rpm put the clutch down put your foot down on the accelerator and then bring the clutch up quickly while holding your foot down.

if the revs hardly drop or keep rising quickly its on its way out, if it brings the revs down and pulls ok then the clutch still has some life in it.

make sure you do this in high boost.

you can also just do a hard lauch from a standing start but the first method is the normal way of testing it.

I take it you will be running alot more boost once its run in so standard clutch wont cope with it anyway best to upgrade

as for the juddering what condition is the gearbox mount in ?

 

[jayc-glanza17]

no i be running 12 psi, but yes looking to upgrade, but wanted to know if it is going already.
as for the gearbox mount, i believe its fine.

Best way to test if the clutch is slipping is to climb a hill in 5th at a moderate speed. Put your foot down, it will rev up but not gain much speed if its slipping!

As for juddering, could possibly be the release bearing worn out, or could be an early sign of the clutch. Either way the box has to come off so doesnt make it any better!
