ok so i was racing this POS green car donno what it was he had a redneck turbo on it the piping was wrapped in gause and he was only pushing 4lbs of boost so i decited to race this guy well we get to the line and we start i let off the clutch easy at about 3k i start to pull leave him from the line shift into 2nd at about 5.5k then boom NO power and redline i change to 3rd
same problem so i shut it down let the car cool for a min or two line back up same thing now when i shift normal no problems but when i give her hell then it slips massive ive had this problem sence day 1 of the car and i have taken to chevy and still nothen they say they cant find the problem i told them to get on it and drive it kinda hard they tell me well theres your problem you are not suppose to drive the car that hard now i have a question for you if i change to a spec stage 2+ clutch will this help or am i just sol and there is a bigger problem.....

 

I don't have very many issues with my Spec 3+. Before it was broken in, it would slip, but since it's broken in it hasn't. There has been some issues even with some of the aftermarket ones though. Do a search, you'll see.

 

Why would you tell them you beat on your car? That's a no no.

Stage 2 clutch would only give them more ammo to use against you at this time. I'd have them take a look at it, and if they tell you no, take it to a different dealer... But don't tell them you beat on it.

 

if it dont slip no problem to them

 

screw it i will void the warrenty

 

that kinda of happened to me when i was racing somebody when i first go the car...you did something or you werent paying attention do the rpms

 

Do you mean you slipped the clutch at 3 grand? That could glaze it over right there, not good on it at all.

 

Even if I want to get on it on this car let off of the clutch early in the rpm band.. I haven't raced but I have driven her hard and no issue like what you are saying.

Also.. maybe this isn't good for raceing but do not SLAM the crap out of the gas pedal with every shift. getting WOT is fine but no need to do it as fast as possible. Try to feel the car some.

I know that sounds like esoteric zen of driving bs... but after 14+ years driving I think I get the hang of this stuff.

 

thats the thing after it did it the first time the 2nd and third time i was driving it normal

 

My guess is you have a slipping clutch. That's a wear item, so no warranty to void really. It could do it under normal driving if you hurt it bad enough. slipping the clutch off the line is an easy way to bake your clutch.

 

so will getting a stage 2 help yes or no?
