I'm sure this does not surprise anyone, but my stock clutch, with only 3800 miles on it, is slipping when trying to pull in 4th or 5th gears.

So I'm on my stock crappy tires and wheels, but the clutch is giving out. Has everyone switched to an aftermarket clutch, or anyone running the stocker? Just curious, I figured I would have to change it.

mine slipped really bad when i put my kit on, I switched to something that could hold the power a lot better.

It may sound silly Cobra, but make sure you keep your foot completely off the pedal when you put the "other" foot in the fan. May help a little.

It is slipping without touching the pedal at all. I know what you mean though. I had two other people drive the car and they said the same thing. Guess I'll look for a new clutch.

I have the Mcleod RST Twin disc with a McLeod billet steel flywheel. Its good for 800hp to the crank. Pedal pressure is just like stock, car shifts great, and its easy to drive in traffic no chatter or excessive clutch noise, it also works perfectly with the stock TOB. With an SC you don't want to go "cheap" on the clutch setup.

^^^ What did that combo set you back? Who did you order it from?

thanks for the info.

I ordered it from http://gtrhipo.com/ $650 for the clutch $225 for the billet steel flywheel it was during a group buy I put together for the users on this forum, if you call them and tell them you missed the group buy they might still cut you some sort of deal. I have a Spec's aluminum flywheel that needs a new face if you are interested, it will work with the RST.

going wide open throttle in those steep final gears will kill the clutch. to much load, and the stock clutch wasn't designed to handle 450 rwtq lol

I'm not suprised it's slipping with a whipple and 3.25 inch pulley. Mine lasted 8,000 miles, but a lot of those were easy miles and 1/2 were with only 8lbs of boost. I wouldn't bother replacing your TOB with only 3,000 miles on it. At least that will save you $100.
