Default clutch maybe?

So today i was driving and decided to do a WOT pull form a stop. I do and i spin in first and shift to second and fells like im spinning but no smoke, no marks, but no pull at all. I come out a little and goes to normal. I put it in 6th early at about 40 mph and it didnt shoot the rpms up. What could this be. Im confused.

Put on 6th gear and step on it, if it pulling you good, if not your clutch is slip. Monster time hehe

i put up numerous threads about the same thing and no one ever said anything NICE or helpful about it. Exact same thing has happened on several occasions, on one of them I actually smelled clutch though so I know it was slipping. - but i can never get it to slip in 6th or when I actually try to make it slip.... ordered a monster but the current clutch always holds except those rare occasions on first to 2nd shifts...

I have been calling Monster every three month asking about the LT1 clutches. They are in the design phase and they are having trouble getting the pressure plate the way they want it.

They said they will offer LT1 clutches eventually.



Quick Reply: clutch maybe?
