Jellybean Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Car is bpu , has a Carbonetic triple or twin, on wot she is fine but this is the 2nd time in 5th she engages the gear but revs shoot up as it would if you where in neutral, nothing happens. First time it happened was back in the summer, Ia the clutch slipping? Why only 5th gear, plus it happens periodically, not something I can replicate on demand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinus Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Had the same on bpu with my os-gikken in 5th gear it slips, clutch friction plates has worn out... Maybe it happens cause car has more resistance at high speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If the clutch is on it's way out it'll start to slip when it's under the most load ie. in a high gear at lower speeds. To test try putting the car in say 4th or 5th at 30mph and accelerating, if it is slipping you'll hear the engine revving without drive to the gearbox. A slipping clutch generates a lot of heat so get it changed ASAP if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a98pmalcolm Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks guys, think I will just go OEM clutch and flywheel Talking from my personal experience I WOULDN'T. Im BPU, ok with a few extras. But I went OEM with a competition flywheel and the clutch started to slip after 7 months or so. Id go uprated clutch, I have a stage 4 competition clutch with competition lightened flywheel and it's working great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Can you not just change the clutch plate? As far as I know you can, but she is 70% heavier than stock, I think I will just pull the clutch asses it and go from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
