hey guys, posted this problem before but im just making sure because i do have the money to buy a new clutch but i really dont want to, if i have to bit the bullet then fine im ok with that
No boost leaks -- done a BLT and im fine, no large leaks, only have a tiny leak from my boost gague which i just put tephlon tape over
i can hold 8 psi all day in any gear and any type of pull -- you put a friend in the passenger seat and now all of a sudden a 5th gear pull on the thruway will start to "slip" at 8psi with engine rpms going up and the car not going with it
( wouldnt i smell burning clutch )??????
if i try to hit 12 psi in any gear past 2nd gear ( ie 3rd 4th and 5th ) shell "Slip"
ok so no boost leak, and "slipping" when punching it and more slipping with more weight in the car
sooo clutch issues? now this has been happening for 2 and a half months now -- it doesnt seem to be getting worse ( its a stock clutch btw ) and the PO beat the hell out of it at the track before i went to pick the car up -- dont clutchs usually go pretty quickly?
could anything else cause these symptoms????????
maybe an exhaust leak? ( my o2 housing to my Downpipe gasket is a little bit worse off then id like and im seeing a little carbon build up on one side of it ) no other visible leaks that i can see
could this cause my issues? i wouldnt think so but these turbo cars have kinda turned my understanding of automobiles upside down
thanks for putting up with my questions guys
appreciate it
