Ever since TOTB last year I've had a problem with my clutch slipping (bloody drag radials give too much grip)
...but to me it doesn't seem like classic slipping clutch symptoms. It starts slipping from around 4500 if I WOT rev the car in 2nd or 3rd gear, then when I go for the next gear it slips again straight away. But if I back off the throttle for sec then give it WOT in the higher gears it doesn't slip.
Isn't that arse-about-face? Doesn't a slipping clutch normally slip worse in the higher gears, rather than the lower ones?
It's an OSGiken clutch. Twin plate I think (not 100% sure really) and I believe it's a 'push' type.
I've just lived with this problem for the last 10 months and it didn't get any worse in that time, but now I've fitted a larger turbo it's slipping more - so I guess I better sort it out.
So, should I just get the clutch plate changed? Or do the symptoms suggest something else could be the problem?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
