Is it my Clutch???

[stawka]

Hey guys, sorry if this may seem like a stupid question, but i just bought myself an R32 GTST recently. I'm finding that once i drive the car for more then 5-10 minutes, the car starts feeling like sh!t over 4,000RPM. I'm thinking it's my clutch, as the bearing's in the clutch are gone, and the car isn't going as it should be going. Just wondering if you guys can advise me on whether it's my clutch or not?

Can you feel the clutch slipping? ie is it flaring up high in the rev range in 4th-5th gear?

clutch will slip in 4th and 5th before the lower gears... you should be able to tell.. also i read that if you put your front wheels against a gutter or chok them, stick the car in 4th/5th gear and let the clutch out, if it doesn't stall suddenly then could be your clutch as well..

I can feel that it's trying to pull in low gears. First gear it puts u back in your seat, second gear it starts to feel like somethings wrong, 3rd gear is worse, and so on. I'll give the gutter-trick u mentioned a go and see where that takes me. Not too sure about what it is but i'm guessing clutch is slipping

Do you find it that your revs are increasing but your speed isnt going up?

Yeh revs are going up, sounds normal (whynd-up), just doesn't go! It sounds loud, just goes nowhere... A bit like a 5litre, but lets not go there.

Would that indicate that it's the clutch?
