With ~700 miles and only 20 passes, it feels like my "new clutch" is slipping already. Thing is, I have never encountered this before so I need you guys to confirm it.

A week a ago, I did a WOT run and speedshifted into 2nd, and it felt like the car didn't "hook" (not a tire hook) right away. There was this delay in getting the power to the wheels, even though I had already shifted and let out the clutch.

Last night, same thing. I also put in in 6th and WOT-accelerated from low rpms, and there was this..."lag." Not a motor bog, but something like a delayed reaction-engagement.

Am I slipping?

 

it sounds like you need to do the drill mod, im not to exact on what it is, but what happens is the fluid in the line that goes from the master cylinder cant flow fast enough so what u do is you make the opening for the line bigger allowing more flow. type in drill mod in the search and youll find some guys who have the same problem.

 

Thanks Lite, but drill mod has been done!

 

Did you upgrade any of the hydrolics? How about breakin period? Only 700 miles, maybe you torched the flywheel.

 

i agree...what's up with the break in period...20 passes in 200 miles??

 

Upgraded hydraulics were done with the drill mod. I think my flywheel IS toasted. It's the stock flywheel that my EX-friend mechanic put back in after he DIDN'T resurface or it. I think I am facing the consequences of that now

I did do the break in period. I went easy on it for the first 500. My car is a garage queen, so yes, all I did was pound it for 20 passes and 200 road miles.
