Yesterday i let my dad drive my car bc i told him about the clutch slipping going into 2nd gear...of course the clutch slipped horribly the only 2 times he tried. now hes incredibly pissed off bc he seems to think its bc of me giving my car hell but its really not. anyone know of a thread that explains how the clutches arent good in these cars that i could show him?

 

i cant find any.... but it doesnt make a difference, GM wont fix it, because its been labled as a re-occuring problem but only due to abuse and constant WOT situations

there is a pretty good explaination... That might be your problem. DRIVER MOD. You might be too GENTLE with it. Works for me!

 

This has helped out alot, i think you should read it and check it out

 

dude the 3k rpm thing did not help me.. i have an o7 with just over 2000km on it, and it SLIPS SO BAD

 

ive got intake, downpipe, and stg2 and my clutch grabs awesome. hasnt slipped yet

 

I never shift below 2750, usually right at or around 3000-3250... and I have only had a problem once... and that was when my timing was screwed up and I floored the gas just before I let the clutch out (WHOOPS!). I don't know what I was thinking (Beer & P*ssy probably)

 

dude you drove it like that for like 30 miles and said **** it this **** don't work! try it for a week and see if it gets better. if the clutch is glazed it's gonna take more than 30 miles to get that off of there.

 

ditto

 

hey USMC just wanted to give you a heads up before you get bum rushed by the mods. you're sig is too long. i'm not trying to be a dick i just wanted to save you the high blood pressure caused by one of their nasty-grams.

 

**** this clutch is gay. i shouldnt have to shift that high all the time, but whatever, i will
