Hi Huys I fitted a new clutch a few weeks ago, but I think its slipping in boost. Im only running 12psi so its obviously not too much power thats causing it. IS there any adjusting or something that I can do to help prevent this? Thanks in advance fro suggestions!

 

very much doubt yu can help this mate,, mines running at 12 psi and it slips like fooook on boost,, sounds like the car is wheel spinning,, i would advise u to go for a paddle clutch but you wont get a AP paddle for less than Ł250 dude...
im buying one next week

 

Was the flywheel skimmed? And is the rear crankshaft oil seal ok?

 

A std clutch will take 12 PSI no problem if in good nick. I'm running over 15 PSI on a Maxtorq fast road clutch. No slipping at all.

 

Also check the self-adjusting mechanism under the dash

 

It's torque that kills clutches. At 12psi, unless you have a good breathing 1.9 or 2l, you shouldn't be slipping a std clutch. A flywheels skim is a must.

 

This isn't going to help you. Do not use a paddle clutch on a car used on the road.

 

most likely rear cranckshaft oil seal, oil most likely contaminating the clutch hence the slipping. I always have my flywheel skimmed and have a new oil seal fitted when i do a clutch.

 

cheers guys. will invest in a new oil seal. Take it the gear box needs to come off for this? may aswell skim the flywheel aswell then

 

yep gearbox off, clutch and flywheel too. make sure you skim the flywheel if you didnt before
