Hi guys, my car peaks 1.2bar and holds 1bar, but some times now and then it starts slipping, the car is meant to have a black diamond clutch in there

any ideas?

Do you know how old the clutch is maybe worn if it's old

clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!! what more can one say????????????????? you answered it yourself!!

Clutches are the weak areas of RST. Most are not capable of much and even then the prices are terrible. Nohing is more frustrating that showing ££ on an expensive item just to find out it wasn't good enough.
Anyone know of a reasonable priced 220mm sprung paddle plate?

get the fly wheel skimmed

Could be clutch or rachet or sticky cable.



But if its a Black diamond, it most prob is that, as they aren't that good.

Kam B

the flywheel has been skimmed it shows it in the receipts

bollocks, the clutch then, whats a good clutch to go for?

the front tyres light up as its pretty powerful trying to put power through 14inch clover leafs

sticky cable?

oh yeah, cluth is a few months old too, duno if it needs running in as they previous guy didnt use the car that much

Yes I have had the same problem on mine last week

The arm on the gearbox can get sticky -
make sure this works freely or your clutch does not engage onto the plate properly!

This with a flywheel skim solved my problem

il have an investigation then in it, cheers for direction

does your pedal feel tight?

does it spring back fast?

Fiecos Dan

Cable,

Take cable off clutch arm,
it should be smooth to pull by hand, with resistance from pedal wieght.


Rachet,

you should be able pull the clutch release arm by hand towards front of the car when pedal released?
but will be heavy.


if both of them are fine, then time for new clutch and skim.

Kam B

right its sorted out now cheers

Series 1 Turbo

what was it?

Its the peak over boost plus it slips when it was cold and not up to temp and not forgetting the wheelspin lmao
