does anybody have an idea why??

4/7/2010 - I upgraded my stock 1g talon from the 14b turbo to a 16g turbo. along with the turbo I added a new manifold, aem fuel rail, fuel lab fuel pressure reg., and the 2g intake manifold. The car ran great. boosting 15psi and everything problem that I had before, (sputtering and detonating at 6,000 rpms, both which were do to spark) were gone! Car ran great! no problems

4/8/2010 - Car had sat all night, no one had driven it. I crunk it up and wanted to show my dad what the new mods had done for the car. Going full throttle, the car did great in first gear, but when I shifted to 2nd, the car went to maybe 4,000 rpms and then it felt like I was reving the gas while its in the nuetral, but it was in gear! It felt like the clutch was slipping and I was spinning tires at the same time, but the tires were not spinning. I didnt smell clutch at all. '

Does anybody have any idea what this is? I believe it has something to do with the clutch, maybe it cant handle the power and is causing it to slip or not engage. I am open to any suggestions and tips.

Thanks

So what your saying is your car does not drive in any gear whats so every after this event? Not even cruising? Mileage on clucth?

Check your slave and clutch fork, if they seem fine, clutch is probably gone

Did the car feel noticeably faster? If so, yes, it's probably your clutch saying "im old, and im weak, i cant handle this"

Simple fix: buy a clutch which can

whats it like on start up just shifting regularly?
does the clutch pedal feel any different?
original clutch?

I do feel a noticeable change in the clutch pedal. the car sometimes trys to lock me out of 3rd gear when im gettin on it. regular drivin is fine in all gears until I get over 4 or 5 thousand rpms. and yes the car is a lot faster now. really gettin a lot more torque out of it. 1st gear is fine...both regular driving and getting on it..but every other gear is slippin right at about 4500 rpms.

I've got the same problem and ive done pretty much the same upgrades.. threw on a new mani, evo III 16g, Full apexi exhaust, running 20psi and now as soon as i hit 3k when im at full boost .. boom its like im reving in neutral

Ya this is why clutch is usually the first upgrade

new slave, steel braid lines, titianium slave rod, some of the things i needed for clutch

Sounds like both of your clutches are done.

Worn clutch disk, bent/broken pressure plate fingers, worn/shattered throwout bearing (or its clip came loose), bent/worn clutch fork or pivot ball.

If it's convenient to tear it apart first, do that to see what's going on and maybe save some cash. If it's the stock clutch disk, yeah, it's probably gone. But getting locked out of 3rd is a different problem that could be caused by some of the other things I mentioned, as well as the hydraulic clutch system and transmission itself.
