If you put the car in 1st gear and slowly let off on the clutch without pushing on the gas pedal and the car does not stall but rolls, is this a sign of clutch slipping or not.

Thks.

 

no

Clutch slipping would be like you floor it and the revs climb all of a sudden without accelerating like it should

 

Yes. Clutch is saying its last words to you.

So is it a yes or NO. I say YES but wanted to confirm. I don't feel like the clutch is grapping anymore. I can bascially let out the clutch and the car will not stall.

 

trust me. Clutch is bye bye. I know a bad clutch when I see one (in this case read one).

 

I figure that was the case. It drives okay under normal driving but I guess need to take it easy for now. Exedy twin or ACT?? I'm tempted to get ACT with lighten flywheel setup.

 

RRE non brand clutch

 

NO NO NO...that does not necessarily mean your clutch is fried...my clutch is fine and if I let it out S-L-O-W-L-Y at idle, the car will creep forward without stalling, unless I'm on an uphill incline, then it wants to stall. The C5 Corvette (I used to own one) does the same thing. I think there is a routine in the ECU that allows it, but don't quote me on that.

Don't replace that clutch just yet, dude...unless you WANT to...

Cheers,

but i had the same problem where would never stall and if i try to launch at a light anymore, my car would be makin noise but wouldnt go no where and smell bad so mines dead, actually John Shepherd has my car right now redoing the tranny and putting an ACT clutch in.

 

John Sheppard I've heard this name on many different posts does he have a web site or a # I can call pm me please

thanks
adam

 

no its not fried i would do this when the car had 500miles on it and i have 20,000 now on the stock clutch and its holding like a champ

 

Superz, trust ME when I say you don't know what you are talking about, how could you ever judge a clutch status without driving the car? If you are slow on the clutch you could do this with a brand new EVO and certainly that clutch would be fine.

GOKOU, You would first start to notice slippage in high gears when you put the most strain on the clutch, not in low gears or 1’st when starting from a standing still.

 

You obviously know ZERO about how a clutch works. Stop scaring this guy with your total lack of knowledge. Any manual car will creep forward if you let the clutch out without throttle unless your idle is so low that the motor doesn't make enough torque at that rev range to pull the car, hence stalling. This isn't the case with the Evo. Learn something about cars before you make goofy posts like this in the future and totally embarrass yourself.

Gokou, your car is fine. Stop sweatin' it and drive. If you go WOT from ~4000rpm while in gear and your car revs freely like you were in neutral, THEN you'd have a slipping clutch.

 

Thanks. I don't think it's fried yet but I notice that it's not gripping as good as before and the engagement point seems to have creep up higher.

 

The stock Evo clutch grabs really high...that's normal...as long as it doesn't slip when fully engaged, you're good to go...if and when it starts to slip, then it's carbon twin plate time!
