Hello, Today I gave my car a bit of a launch, the clutch pedal stayed to the floor resulting in me not going anywhere fast with some nasty clutch slip and burn smell the pedal came back after getting of the gas. The car drove ok after this with maybe a bit a shudder when taking off pedal worked ok. Has this happened to anyone else?

Unsure what happened fluid is good with no leaks, master also good. I've read that it could be the slave not coming out quick enough, or the clutch is on it's last legs. it is the factory clutch. Or the throw out bearing.

I did go home after this not wanting for something to let go and be stuck.

I'm going to change the clutch anyway now in preparation for hypergear atr43 turbo. Can anyone please suggest a clutch that will handle the power a atr43 turbo can make on stock rb25 with e85

Cheers

Ok thanks guys, I'm going to go with NPC.

But is it normal for the pedal to not come up when experiencing clutch slip? never experienced this before.

Would the issue be with the clutch? The slave looks fine no leak.

I've had the 'stuck pedal' happen before, right before my clutch died. Better get it changed sooner rather than later.

    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in

    • Hell yeah. It's not as if the path from front to rear is particularly squirrelly or otherwise difficult.
