Hey there,

Most times, when I go to change gears, it seems that my clutch is slipping....does that mean I need to change to a heavy duty clutch?

hey there!

yeah your clutch plates will have worn down so.... new clutch time 4 u! There are heaps of different options, you can "rebuild" the clutch in your car but usually end up being more expensive than buying a heavy duty clutch kit. I just got a heavy duty clutch kit for my 33 from Just Jap. Kit was about $370 + installation and i am wrapped with it.

hope this helps you out!

I got that same kit from JustJap... there's something wrong with my box though, cause it started slipping a month after me and a mate put it in. My mechanic rubbished the RPM organic kit, saying that RPM just (poorly) remanufacture dead pressure plates and resurface friction plates.

Boo! =-[ *cry*

blackgtst: Aww.. nah. I mean... wear it in as you should for the first 500k's, but if it's a dud, it will bog out on you very quickly no matter what you do.

grazza: Well... that kit seemed alright for a month...

And considering my mechanic is a total perfectionist and never wrong, i'm happy to throw mine out when the box comes off next week.

Mate of mine just received his clutch back from Jim Berry, and he reckens it's the sh*t. Cost him almost a grand though.

    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
