Stock Bnr32 Clutch Seems To Be Slipping

[Yawn]

Hey guys i recently upgraded turbos to gt2560s of the -5 variant and have got a rather light tune to get me 300kw atw. I tried maxing out 1st gear, full throttle and its all good, then when i shift to 2nd, the clutch seems to slip all the way to redline. I havent shifting to 3rd yet. Is it normal for clutches to work like normal and not slip unless ur going all out? What i find strange is that everything is fine except for when i shift to 2nd. =/

Thanks in advance

Yeah, a clutch slipping is normal.

but only when you have your foot on the pedal to reduce plate pressure. It kinda helps with changing gears, you know.

are you dropping the clutch? once in the wet with attesa off I dropped it into 3rd (@50 kph). Didn't know why everything was different (engine revs going up, no wheelspin) for a few seconds... and then panic mode.

Either way, it sounds to me like you need a new clutch - one that suits your style of driving.

how old is the clutch? It could just be getting a little old and worn. I would have thought it could handle the power.

oh - and the 1 -> 2 shift is usually the hardest shift. slowest speed and biggest ratio gap.
