I have a clucth problem. my clutch slips at wot. How long will it last until the clutch goes out?

It sounds like your clutch is already toast. If your asking how long I can go driving with a slipping clutch then I would say not long. Eventually you won't even be able to get the car in motion.
Don't do it too long or you will have a chance of your flywheel warping and even exploding from all the heat.

37 days.

37 days.

Or 888 hours.

What if the slipping doesn't happen during daily driving?

64 days.
















dude....this is like the question. how many licks does it take to get the the center of a tootsie roll pop. just replace your clutch a.s.a.p.

..okay..thanks...i was thinking 666 hours..hahaha..and then the mark of the beast will show with a blow up..

hey when you replace that clutch upgrade the flywheel. Flywheels make big gains in horsepower and you might as well replace it while your in there.. Go performance.

how much horsie does a 2100, 2600 act clutch hold? Which is a good flywheel?

 

[IamCool]

I was also wondering what is the difference between a 6 puck and 4puck.

 

[IHeartTurbo]

the number of pucks....

just get a 2600 pressure plate with a street disk


:EDIT: Dude, fill out your profile. If I knew what car you have I could help you better. If you have a 1G, get the 2600, but if you have a 2G, get a 2100.

i would go 2100 but thats just me and my car

It depends, my clutch went from perfect to NOTHING in one day, but that's cause I think I cracked it on a hard launch.

There's no big gain in power from swapping to a lighter flywheel.

I agree with this. I recently put a new Fidanza flywheel in my car and then got another dyno done. My overall number didn't increase, but in the lower rpm band my torque was about 10-20 more then before.
I would get the clutch changed out ASAP cause i hae done the exact same thing. Fried mine at the track and didn't even know until i was going home in 4th/5th gear it was slipping. Mine didn't last long at all either, plus you risk damaging more things so get it done soon.
