Whats up guys Ive been having some issues with my car slipping under a good launch. At first I thought it was the clutch so i replaced the Mitsu OEM TOB , sprung 6-puck and 2300lb P.P. I adjusted the clutch master and pedal according to Jacks Trans Video also.
Unfortunately neither fixed my issue. So after some research (very little info on this) Ive narrowed it down to a few things but some require a good bit of work so im trying to get this right the first time. 1) Incorrect step height on the flywheel. 2) Maybe the pivot ball isnt shimmed correctly. 3) VC's in the trans are bad?

I dont know if there are any tell tale signs to find the culprit. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance

Damn figured somebody would have put their 2 cents in LOL. Well I suppose either way I go Im going to have to pull the transmission.
 
IT is either the step on the flywheel or the clutch just isn't strong enough. What brand of clutch are you running?

The clutch kit is pretty damn new. However I didnt get the flywheel checked for specs because it looked to be in such good shape. Im thinking my assuming came back to bite me in the ass. :barf:
 
id say its the clutch. Try going with something better first. If you drive the car a lot id say go with something like a ACT 2900 or something along those lines. Or just put out a few more dollars and grab up one of the quartermaster twin disc. I think its your clutch 100%.
