Strange clutch slippage...

[paintballer419]

Well as the title says i have slippage of the clutch...

When driving and hitting 10 psi(current setting) and not letting up(as if you are drag racing0, the clutch is fine in first gear, second has moderate slippage, but there is still decent acceleration. going into third from second, again moderate slippage. fourth the same... but here is where it gets interesting...

driving in fifth gear, create boost over 3 psi and major slippage...drop into fourth and third, major slippage, same as in fifth gear.drop into first of second, not so much...

im lost...its possible the clutch is bad. what about trans. oil? could that cause the strange slip? I'm really lost, and don't want to spend $400 on an ACT 6 puck....

if anyone needs a better description let me know..

Your clutch is heading south. Slippage will be worse in the higher gears.

a low fluid or no fluid would destroy your transmission but you would get weird noises not slippage

it just sounds like you may be putting a little too much on a stock clutch when the boost builds.. you may just want to try replacing the stock clutch and getting a new flywheel with good surfaces. there is the possibility that after some slippage you could have partially glazed the flywheel.

I'm going to order an act 6 puck and be done with it...and ill check out the flywheel when i start replacing stuff
