miko_supra Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 boost is at its highest in 5th and 6th and at a low speed 60mph maybe it is the tires slipping plus its damp out at the moment. does sound like a clutch issue you wont even see the second turbo until 120mph!

Guest Budz86 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Claire, does the car do this if you do say 110 kph, but in 5th or 4th as opposed to 6th? Or is it only ever happen in 6th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireRZ-S Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 It something to do with the clutch and gearbox i think. The revs go up and the grinding noise i can kinda feel when my hand is on the clutch it does sound like the gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Can you feel any judder through the clutch pedal? If you let off the pedal when it's 'slipping' do the RPM's drop back and the noise stop? If it's a slipping clutch the rpm's normally increase while the speedo remains static or slowly increases. A grinding noise could still mean a worn clutch plate, either way I'd recommend not to drive the car hard until it's been checked out. I'd be suprised if it's the box, if a gear or plate is shredded I can't see it being load dependant, plus it'd occur at all RPM's in that gear. Any sign of problems in other gears?

No i didnt feel it now . Yep the noise stops but it only happens for a second anyway when i have my foot down. Yeah the revs go up and i dont really notice anything happening to the speed.

I edited the post above with some more questions, but based on this it does sound very much like a worn out clutch plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Southbend DXD IMO Cheap(ish), very, very proven for long term use and have a near-stock pedal feel. They are used by a great deal of the folks on here. Stock should also be okay if you are not pushing the boost to 1.2 bar daily. Puck clutches are for drag or curcuit use, longevity is never their intended use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 any idea how much and where would i get one?? I think AFR are the UK dealer for Southbend. Price was around the £400-£500 mark dependant on the spec (the DXD range is good for 750ib/ft+). My last car did 36k miles (1.25bar BPU and single) on one before it gave up. It did not have an easy life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
