My car is currently sitting at my local dealer with the transmission laying on the floor due to clutch issues. My clutch was slipping and smelling to high hell under full boost and fast shifting.

Upon taking the trans and clutch out it was obvious there was clutch issues. The disc itself was still decent which was amazing due to all of the slipage, the flywheel and pressure plate had major heat spots.

Heres the kicker, after further inspection it was obvious that the slave cylinder was the major cause of this problem. It wouldn't operate smooth and was a tad bit rusty.

So maybe it isn't the clutch disc or pressure palte that is causing problems in the SS/SC.

 

hopefully something good comes from this cuz in first gear all i get is clutch slippage.

 

If the clutch can fully engage I doubt there would be any problems.

My clutch slipped very badly every once and a while and after all of that the disc itself looked like it had 200miles on it.

 

is there an upgrade for the weak part then?

 

lets hope something good comes from this and gm does a recall if its that bad...

 

I Think You Guys Mite Be Sitting On The Clutch A Little , Mine Only Slipped Only Once Months Ago, But Thats Just My Opino, Nothing Against Anyone

 

Mine did it with 2000 miles and i brought it in and they replaced the clutch disk, slave cylinder,pressure plate,and bearings with no problem and it's holdin up so far.

 

I have realized that this car will melt the clutch or w/e is causing our clutches to go in stop and go traffic bumper to bumper. My clutch will feel like poo poo under two ocassions:

1. Like I stated before, stop and go traffic that's bumper to bumper.
2. If someone else drives it lol

It even slips after one of those situations occur, however, eventually the clutch comes back to life with some easy easy driving with it. My clutch is so weird. It plays head games with me

 

mine is kinda like that, sometimes it will slip when i'm getting on it but never in regular driving, but other times when i get on it act ok, no matter how cold or hot it is it never act the same twice. its weird saving for the stg 3 spec.

 

I usually blame clutch issues on driving habbits but after experiencing it first hand it's damn frusterating!

My car has 7000 miles and has got the occasional hard drive but the clutch problems only started at 6500 miles. Everyonce and a while it would just slip then work fine.

 

I have a SPEC Stage 2 Clutch and they have rebuilt it once because of a design problem. Now I am having a problem again about 600 miles after the re install. Has anyone had similar problems with the SPEC Clutches?

 

i was getting on the freeway today and noticed i was slipping really bad. 2nd and 3rd. the rpms were there but it didnt feel like it was grabbing like it should. i have about 5500 miles on it. whats the best thing to do? i'm taking it to the dealership soon for an oil change should i have them check it out? will they change my **** out?

 

i heard soem stage 2 cltuches ahd some issues but ive heard good thigns about the +s.

 

sorry about the spelling errors lol.

 

can anybody help me my car will go into 1st 2nd and 5th and R but when i put it in 3rd and let off the clutch it grinds anybody have any ideas why ?
