Is it my clutch or something else?

[b8180]

For about two weeks now, maybe once or twice a day, my car will feel like the clutch is slipping but I don't think it's my clutch because when this happens my rpm's will not get any higher (or lower if that matters). This has happen at least once in every gear and when it happens I just let off the gas real quick and then start accelerating again and the problem is gone, at least for like a day or so.

Here are my current mods.

BOV - Greddy RS
Boost Gauge - Autometer.
Turbo - FP Big T28.
Intake - ChromeIntakes.
MBC - NXS MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER @15psi.

does this happen when you turn left by chance??

Is your clutch engagement too high?

To me it sounds like the clutch is slipping especially if you let off then go again and it stops. Well the only way to fully make sure it to get it checked out.

I have only noticed it on straightaway's.

It seems the same as always.

I've had the car for about a year now and I'm still using the clutch it came with so I don't know how old it is, I'll get it checked out soon.

Thanks for the replies.

Check the freeplay in the clutch. If there's not enough freeplay, the clutch won't fully engage enough to hold hard launches.

It should be adjustable at the rod between the pedal and the master cylinder.

you may have a air pocket in your clutch master cylinder. try bleeding your clutch lines. see if that helps any.

I think you might be mistaking a boost leak or another similar issue for a clutch problem.

If the clutch was slipping your rpm would climb very quickly compared to speed and you'd be smelling the wonderful burnt cat hair aroma from the melting stock organic disk. I first had the pleasure of that smell while running a stock clutch at only 17-18psi on a 14b. Your larger T28 should make it quite apparent if the stock clutch is slipping at all.

We need more information or a better description.
