cars going onto 6 months w/ approx. 4,5xx miles on it. When i get into it hard in 1st gear, the clutch starts to slip and then i shift into 2nd it does the same. but when i ease into the gas i dont have the problem. How long did you go before changing out your clutch? and what did you upgrade to (or just replaced w/ another stocker)?

Wow, im at almost 6000, and my clutch has no problems. sorry about yours tho

 

[chewie]

I'm about 6500 miles. No problems witht the clutch, and it's my first manual car.

 

[norcalSRTrida]

its just from constant abuse, my shifting isn't my problem. always dropping the clutch and what-not is what its from. Its nothing bad unless i drop the clutch in 1st. So now i steer clear of driving like my old habits...lol
i think i need to save up and order a new clutch sometime in the near future tho.

 

[JustANeonButBadass]

yeah you def gotta stop "dropping the clutch". there are SRT-4's around in the low 12's-high 11's still using the stock clutch. mine seems fine and i have almost 15,000 miles on it since february of this year.

i have 22k now and mine is fine... initially it was bad with a vibrateing pedal, but that went away, like i think most people's did...


if you are going to replace it, get the new mopar upgraded clutch... unless you plan to do a bigger turbo (other then stage 3) then get a spec 2 or spec 3 clutch

 

[norcalSRTrida]

how much those run for? like my clutch isnt bad unless i get on it from a stop. if im rolling its all good. but i figure its always good to have back up sh!t, so ill buy a clutch down the road...how much are they? around 5-600ish?

I'm at 21K probably 100 or so passes at the track, a lot of those on slicks. [email protected] still rockin the stocker, no for long though.

 

[e36 m3]

mopar is 5-600 i believe....

spec clutchs im not sure of

 

[norcalSRTrida]

thanx for the info...today was probably the worst its been. some dude at school thought his beemer was hot sh!t, so when the light turned green, i launched and didnt go anywhere, 2nd no where, then shifted to 3rd and didnt go anywhere and i was puzzled. I really didnt think the clutch would go this fast, and its not like i drop & go at every stop i come to... :crying:

 

[The-Violator]

Lasted a whopping 1,371 miles :eveilgrin

 

[norcalSRTrida]

lol, wow. and what did you upgrade to? and wtf did you do to burn it out in 1,3xx miles?

 

[mike_coleman_srt]

mine lasted 20,something miles I was at the drag strip every week and at the local races every weekend and went to nationals and road raced. I went in with groups I wasn't supposed to just so I could get extra runs. Replaced with a stocker at the cost of a cool G.

 

[Honda Hunter]

Who was the cool G that paid for your clutch?

 

[norcalSRTrida]

may i ask why you went the route of another stock clutch? $1k is more than an aftermarket? Was it because of durbability/oem parts or what?

 

[The-Violator]

lol, wow. and what did you upgrade to? and wtf did you do to burn it out in 1,3xx miles?

We don't talk about it.. :flame:

 

[En-Glaived]

what are the characteristics of a slipping clutch?

 

[SRT420]

7,000 miles. And it wasnt burnt out, it broke. The service techs words were "i dont know what the problem is exactly, its just broke."

 

[Buckonine]

I'm hitting around 14,XXX, and it is about time to make the change...what is a person looking at dropping to make a clutch swap?

 

[norcalSRTrida]

when it happens you'll know. The car basically doesnt go anywhere. When i depress the the clutch while going wot, the car won't go anywhere but just rev. My symptoms haven't gotten to bad yet, and i dont know any long term affects, but ye. w/ the clutch slipping, it disables you being able to put your power to the ground. Kinda sad when i want to go and a minivan pases me up :flame: . haha
