well back in march of 04 I put a spec stg III clutch in. I upgraded all the hydraulics, etc. for the last 2 days if im in a higher gear, say 4th, and I hit the gas, I will get what feels like wheel hop, and the engine revs up like the clutch is slipping. Could the clutch be slipping? The reason this whole thing confuses me is that when I'm in 1st or 2nd and hit it, I don't experience the problem. Instead, the car hooks up and goes. I don't smell any clutch burning and on every launch I've done, the clutch acts fine. My pedal feels like it is sticky. It has done this since I've had the car, both before and after the clutch install. I'm not sure if this symptom has anything to do with the way the car has been acting recently, but I figured I'd throw it in anyway. Thanks for the help in advance.

 

well I did some more driving and the car seems to slip on at low rpms in pretty much every gear. SOMEONE HELP ME!!

 

sounds like you need a new clutch, how many miles are on it? Mine is about gone after 25,000... replacing it next week

 

not even 15k. If I need a new one you better believe I won't buy from spec

 

anyone else have this problem before??? to the top

 

Call SPEC. I was having the same thing you have (only after more miles) and SPEC told me that my clutch was dead, as I suspected. Maybe you do far more stop-go driving or track time (I do very little) and thats why your's bit the dust sooner.
