my clutch is slipping :(

[dAVE]

im pretty sure i felt my clutch slipping today under full boost... and i know its on the way out.. so I plan on changing it.

I only need standard or equal too i think so whats my cheapest option?? Any reccomendations on a good clutch to buy.

Also, I have "some" knowledge with cars... is it something I could do my self... or would any one that has done it before be willing to spend a sat/sun morning with me to help... i can pay in beer

thanks,

dave

Hey Dave, the clutch meggala has suggested is a lot better, and doesnt cost that much more. I got a standard clutch put in mine, and now I regret it!

I think in total, if I went to Ice and got the dakien exidy organic heavy duty clutch. it would have cost me $50 - $100 more.....

I didn't do mine myself though....

Its quite an easy job.....it took 4 hours to do a clutch on the R34 gtr.... i have done an R33 GTS and it was alot quicker than the R34

thanks for the info... ylwgtr - would you be able to give a basic run down of what needs to be done. All I have heard is I need a mate as the gearbox has to be dropped.

Also, do i really need heavy duty. My car is std apart from remapped ecu basically.. And i get a sore leg from what I think is the std one in there after driving for ages around the city then again, i would like to pull a few burnouts and not be paranoid that the clutch wont hold..

you could replace the disc with a sintered metal one while retaining the standard tension pressure plate...this gives is a bitey feel but isnt too hard on your leg muscles!Its a very easy procedure to get out ...just the same as any RWD car...actually its easier due to how well built the car is..although the hump in the floor is a bit of a knt to get the gearbox back in..oh and get the flywheel machined

cheers mate. There is a mechanic in the next street, so if i get stuck i can always give him a call if its the same for all rwds!

Ive got the clutch that meggs said, its crazy

very light on the foot, and really grippy when it needs to be.. chrips into 3rd no worries, and no traction in second at times

Otehr thing is, its a great daily clutch, because its organic, and not ceramic, it doesnt mind being ridden now and then

Go the step up, its not that much more expensive.

cheers mate. There is a mechanic in the next street, so if i get stuck i can always give him a c~~~

then he can charge you triple a clutch inst~~~ is around $200

cheers

got a quote of $160 from him today... so now i just need to purchase the clutch.
