My clutch has started to slip!! :evil:
It uses metallic plates and is rated at over 500hp and it can't take 250hp.
The problem is my wife's car is being changed so she's used my daily drive and I've used the Sunny. In the recent fog and rain I've had to do a few business trips and been stuck in traffic for ages and I rekon I've either polished the surface or just worn out the plates so their is no clamping force anymore.
Its only lasted 3000miles and the engine will have to come out again. Have been doing no launches and 250hp is the most hp its run so it can only be down to recent commuting abuse and metallic plates getting too hot through slipping and wearing out.
I just finished speaking to superclutch who are very helpful but know every potential clutch problem going so it just gets depressing. I'd definately go for organic plates next time (Used them before) as the metallics have been a pain for the road car. I'm wondering what the experience is of the other people using suplerclutch kits on here.
I'm toying with fitting a less race orientated clutch as it suits the cars driving style more. The only silver lining is when the engine comes out it will be easier to fit the turbo as well :roll: IF I can fix the powerFC problem first!!!
Cheers,
Jim
