I was just wondering how well these clutches last. Ive noticed the SS/SC guys have had lots of problems, most since day one. I was just wondering what point u had to get to before change the clutch was a must. mod list in the sig. thx!

 

i am starting to need one now lol, but according to a thread you should be shifting 3k or higher. I had been shifting normally around 2k.

 

i ususaly shift at 4k, but im sure ive done it at a lower rpm on those days with lots of traffic. I have noticed some slight slipping in mine. nothing major (knock on wood) yet

 

oh wait i didnt pay attention I am not sure for the 2.2L

 

Yeah I haven't had a problem with mine, but I dont have any "BIG" mods yet....I also shift pretty high aswell which does make a differance IMO.... normal shifts are at 3-4K for me....and it gets opened up lots and does get driven pretty hard sometimes.

06Pursuit, I dont think you will have a problem until you run a bigger power adder like nitrous or forced induction, even than I think their are a few 2.2s running 50 or 75 shots with no problem....

 

yea I think if this tunning buissness doesn't progress by summer, im gonna go on the bottle. maybe then i'll throw in the flywheel/clutch.

 

IIRC there is tuning now aviable for the 2.2 and there are turbo kits released already.... IMO i wouldnt really worrie about the clutch unless you are pushing some bigger numbers or start having more serious problems.....

 

by who? if ur talking about the Alpine kit. i think their still workin out some bugs,

******edit****** I just looked on the website. looks like your right

 

I believe Garrett has a kit posted on their site too and there are a few guys who have the kits already and a few who are still working on them.... but the PCM is cracked, they have tuning

 

Well taking into consideration that this was my first car and first time driving clutch. My clutch is still lasting me. Before I seen the 3k shift thread, I was shifting at the first shift light. That was for about 2k miles. So yea once power gets into the equation, slippage will be the product.

I beat my car/clutch like that bitch that she is! In fact, I destroyed my stock Transmission. I should be in prison for Car Abuse.... and I've had absolutely no problems with my clutch! I never shift below 3K either.

 

if i remember right our tranny is accually supposed to be a tad stonger then the f23(think thats what its called) the ss/sc gets

 

We have the F25. And I would doubt that the LT tranny is stronger... BUT I've been wrong before.

 

it doesn't really matter what rpm you shift at as long as you do it smoothly

 

The SS/SC have the F35
I believe the 2.2s have a F23

 

depends on how well you drive it.

 

45000 miles of abuse and no problems with my clutch. Car started getting mods with 1000 miles on it. mods in sig. 20+ 1/4 miles runs. I think alot of people with clutch problems are burning them up because of bad driving. Just my 2cents.

please dont give wrong info... there IS NO tunning for the 2.2 ECU. all kits are using piggybacks. garret says they have a tuned yet it has not released yet. no proof nothing.

 

HAHAHAHAHA... I can't belicve I got that wrong,,, I reseached the F35 & f40 for tlike 6 weeks... cause I thought about doing the 6-speed swap... Holy shyt... it's amazing what 10 bottles of corona do to you! Dman Mexican's know how to make Beer, man!!! (I just watched the Big Lebowski... so I like to say Man... and dude! HAHAHAHA... I love the guy with the Stafge 3 SRT-4 in my town... that guy is so cool... he's go t a whipple'd PT Bruiser as well//// HAHAHA anyone know where to get smaller pulley's for a whipple??? I'm trying to get him more BOOOOOOOOOOST!!! I"m drunk!!!!!

 

the only time I've had issues with the clutch slipping is when I'm on nitrous and I try feathering the clutch on a 3K launch.

Other than that...its good for the power levels we're capable of at this point.

 

True True True.

 

At 55k I'm still peaches as well. I shift at 3500. Hey 06pursuit, how are those Pacesetter mods??? Worth anything??? And how does the exhaust sound???

 

their awsome. I got some leaking from the header but thats because of poor welding. Im gonna get it fixed once this snow goes to hell lol. It sounds really good. Louder with the header then it was before. I spent 350 for the whole set up, header back

 

Ive got an 05 SS/SC with a 3 inch pulley, AEM cai and just a muffler... Ive got 27000 miles on it. The first 5000 miles were bad and lots of clutch slipping cause i love doing burnouts.. I ruined the front tires within months... Now on my second set i still burn um way too much but with shifting it aroun 3500 -4000 i have no slipping at all... About to get my 60lbs. and 2.7 on and im positive my clutch will still hold up!!!!!!!

 

what is a good clutch and flywheel combo to get? Ive been hearing bad things about SPEC
