Question Clutch slipping Question ???

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

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.

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.

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,

Steve

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!
