a week ago i was chilling with my friendsand somehow one of my friend and i decided to dragso we started from a red light and racei dropped my clutch at 3000rpm and just upshift as fast as possible just rite b4 redline.........now this is when the nightmare starts.....when i shift into 4th at around 130km......then my clutch gave up on me.......i had my clutch all released but somehow the it feels like the clutch didn't fully engaged.....like 5-10%??? it just revs when i step on the gas......and the spd SLOWLY goes up....so i slowed down.....and kinda cruise for like the next 20mins the clutch starting to get better again......it's still slipping abit during the process of upshift when i drop my clutch quickly.....but atleast when i'm in gear it's ok.......went back home and left it over nite...and it worked perfectly again......

usually when i heel and toe alot or just doing some hardcore shifting......i can actually feel the clutch is starting to slip when hotbut usually still has 70-80% grip......but 5-10% was just awful

i couldn't find what's the problem.......master cyl??clutch burned??transmission slipping??

and other thing is.......when i make a hard left turn at high spd....usually when i accelerate......i experience the WHOLE car bouncing up and down rapidly until i finish making the turn...i had been told that it's the loose ball joint that cuz this to happenand also a f**ked up stock suspension......

if any1 can help me out......i would appreciate it

ok first of all stop doing this on the street!!! get some track time to do this kinda driving your gonna kill someones kids!! second do a very detailed inspection of your suspension per manual instruction.This is to assure your not gonna break something and put your self into a light pole and destroy not only your car but quite possibly your life. As far as your clutch problem goes its probly becoming worn out and when it gets hot the pressure plate springs are becoming weak. follow my other recommended advice then attack your clutch problem. good luck

do not street race does not make you cool. not worth killing your self or someone else. we are in america here don't read km. sorrt about your clutch but God might be pissed because you were street racing. sorry i'm such an ***. hate street racing, thats why there are so many laws about what we (tuners) can do because all the dumb people out there wanted to have some fun and screwed it up for eveyone else.

im with them cut that crap outon the street! and on the clutch just needs replacing... and a word of advice on the next clutch... dont dump it at 3000 thats just stupid, if your gonna launch do it right by slipping the clutch, if you dont know what that means, dont race until you do.

First thing....get your RACECAR to a track, killing ppl isn't cool. and second, sounds like you need a new clutch, its prolly worn out from " dropping your clutch at 3000rpm ", and normal wear and tear.
