Clutch....

So I think mine is on it's very last leg but was wondering aside from throwing it in 5th at 30pmh and seeing how it grabs is there any other way of really telling without tearing it apart?

The car in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd when accelerating the car will go to 5-8 psi then after a second or two it grabs. It almost feels like when an auto transmission is going out..

Any ideas, thoughts, or opinions would be great

It's toast man, get a exedy or spec stage 3+

One very simple test. WOT 1st, nail 2nd. If you spin then you're good, if you don't spin its fucked.

Another option is just get the exedy replacements. They're like 300 or so i believe and actually hold slight more power.

start the car put it in 5th let off clutch semi fast if it takes a second to stall the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced if u stalls instintly u should be good to go. doing the 1st to 2nd wot wont really tell u much since our 1st gear is so short and ull be spinning tires that when u slam second and wot it the clutch cant hold the pressure from such a low speed with insta boost.
