Clutch Slip?

[siba33]

hey guys,

i did a quick search but couldnt really find what i was after. i just picked up my r32 gtr from the compliance worshop today, clutch feels quite heave and harder to use then the standard in my r33 gtst so thinking twin-plate? anyway my problem is if im in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear just driving normaly and i accelerate (not putting my foot to the floor just normal throtle push) it just revs from 2000-4000+ rpm and the speed doesnt seem to go up so can anyone shed some light on this? ive spoken to a few people and they seem to think the cars been sitting round for a bit and hasnt been driven so thats why its like this or its f***ed?

any help would be appreciated cheers

Engine speed increases whilst vehicle speed stays the same = broken link in drivetrain. If you know what wheelspin feels like then I would harbour a guess it's your clutch slipping

Clutch slip is most noticeable on boost which comes in around where you dictate this problem occurring - will only get worse until the point where you have no drive.

put it in 3rd or 4th, press the clutch pedal in, rev it to say 4000rpm then dump the clutch, that'll tell you if its slipping

Or just fifth at low revs and hold your foot down till it hits boost. Slip should be very evident if the clutch is on the way out
