Tell Tell Signs For Dying Clutch?

[LatinR33]

Hey Guys

Ive luckily never had any probs with clutches in the past so dont have experience in knowing when the clutch is on its way out. What are the signs that tell you its time to replace the clutch???

when it starts to vibrate/shudder when you launch the car at a decent rev

Bugger. Kinda like mine does. Having toasted old fords and valiants i thought it was axle tramp Guess a stock clutch can take only so much shit. How hardcore is it worth going if i'm chasing about 250rwkw?

Is that the only sign?? What about slippage?? Is it when you change gears the car revs out??

[Chris_R33GTSt]

I get a shudder on launch, keeping in mind that i have a fair amount of mechanical sympathy and i'm launching under 3k. Also had some slippage on boost before I adjusted my clutch pedal right out.

yep my clutch kept slipin whenever i changed gears.

the revs would not maintain.

[MANWHORE]

um, it will slip. Like under load in 4th, the revs might increase if you stamp it up a hill, but the speed won't.

it will get worse and slip in 3rd, then in 2nd, then you'll be crawling along at 20km/h and it will be slipping, then you won't be able to move at all when it finally dies.

not sure if this is clutch slippage...but i assume it is..

the car is r33gtst '95 with 100,000km+ on the clock

the car still has the stock clutch

the problem is:

the car pulls in second gear if you dont "forcefully" accelerate , then if i stamp it abit......it cleanly revs to about 5-7 '000 revs then as it pulls again, the revs drop!!! Clutch SLIPPAGE???

Notice the clutch is getting softer these days

3rd through to 5th Gear definitely not pulling as well

starting to happen in 2nd

first gear still ok

could it be something else...other than the clutch?

any ideas?

assuming its the clutch, do you guys know what type do these skylines use push, pull?

thanks in advance

kind regards,
