please help with clutch problem i think
I have put this in the technical forum but would be nice if someone on this forum could help me too
I have got a s2 with a ap organic clutch which i just bought around 4 months back but the problem is that i think its starting to slip. Ive been running 185bhp since ive bought it. When im in 1st and 2nd gear its fine but in on hard acceleration in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear that you notice the problem. When the turbo kicks in at around 2800rpm the revs rise to around 3500rpm but then settle down to 3000rpm and then its fine all the way to the top. Any ideas or is my clutch on its way out as i say it only happens when the turbo kicks in that the revs suddenly jump

i would of thought the clutch should take the power, u dont have any oil leaks around the gearbox area do u?, crankseal leaking?, also could be incorrect fitment, dont they say its best sometimes to skim the flywheel? when changing the clutch.

i wouldnt know how much oil it would take to drip onto the clutch and make it slip, but i guess it wouldnt be much, i would say this is an extreme case, my crankseal was leaking badly and my clutch didnt slip,
how much boost u running?, do u find it only slips when the cars been running for a while?
