Major Clutch Slippage.

[S3RK]

P plater, skyline, yep, expecting a whole heap of flaming but whatever.

Coming back home the other night from Eastern Creek my brother (of 28) notices that he doesn't like the way my clutch seems to be acting, he asks if he can take the car for a spin and find the issue.

Well, not really expecting it my brother off of first gear (first time driving my car) is hitting 8krpm, fine, whatever, it is late at night but if you must... He is really thrashing the car and I have no f**king idea what is happening (he has more experience so obviously he knows what he is doing)

But sitting at 60k's in 2nd with his foot down he starts pumping the clutch really quickly, now to my knowledge, this is not very advisable, heat and whatnot, let alone some damage... He thrashes the absolute shit out of it for about another 5 minutes before we arrive home where he tells me there is minor slippage and my clutch is actually sitting too high.

The next morning I've gone and started my car, like usual, taken off down the street, 1st gear, no problem, 2nd gear, car is revving and not getting much power (clutch is slipping right?)

Now to add on all of this, my clutch was very very very barely slipping prior to this and I'm not that thrashy with the clutch at all (Dumped it 5 times in 6 months). Did my brother screw my clutch?

Also, I've been hearing Exedy HD clutches would be good quality? Any advice on the situation and suggestions please.

Sounds dead to me, exedy clutches are great,

have a heavy duty one in mine with some sort of modifyed pressure plate to give it more clamp. Set me back around $300 and something for a kit.

if the revs go up but you dont go anywhere or the revs almost seem like the car is in neutral then yes, clutch is slipping.

there is a rating somewhere of different power levels that particular clutches can take, I am pretty sure a Heavy duty will be more then ample for an n/a

or a stock clutch, if you still like your comfort

[jhjones]

Sounds like your brother finished it off.

This haha.

There is also a chance that the clutch was still useableish but now after his beating, the clutch is cooked and glazed over like glass.

yeah sounds like your brother thrashing the car was the straw that broke the camels back. the clutch was probably already shagged.

Exactly what I was thinking, my car was very drivable before, now it's just... undrivable

No money for a fair few weeks so I guess I play the waiting game now -_-

Thanks guys.

brother did it, brother pay

[Super Drager]

Yeah make him pay, no offence but your brother sounds like a complete f*ckwit and shouldn't be allowed near a car.

Dont waste your money on a heavy duty clutch, the friction disc is no different between a regular clutch and heavy duty one its just the pressure plate. Having a heavy pressure plate in a NA can do more harm than good as it can put a large load of stress on the bearings in the gearbox and you will get a rumble from the gearbox everytime you take off. Save yourself 30% of the price by getting a normal one that will not be any different to you.
