Today while happily motoring.
I noticed that i seem to be having a memory loss or something of that nature.
Before I thought that i was turning about 3k to make 70 Mph
Now im turning around 3500.
It seems im running about 500 to 700 rpm thru any given gear to maintain the same speed i use to be.
I dont know about this.
So can anyone with the new transmission let me know they get for the speed in gears to make sure i dont have a problem or If i do lets see if i can isolate it.
If anyone needs back history on the car let me know....
Anything i can do the figure out what its deal is. Is fine by me.

Ummm...slipping clutch? That's about it as far as my drunk *** can think of...

 

You really feed liquor to your donkey? What kind? (of liquor; I don't know squat about donkeys)

 

Everyones always drinking.
I was thinking it was a sliping clutch.
But it dosent smell.
Thumper MCS told me to check it by putting it in fourth and making it pull up to see if i noticed slipping.

 

Slipping clutch begins
Flywheel spinning for the win
Drunken donkey's, yes!

 

Great now i have to go with the stage 4 yikes.

 

bump;.o

 

Dont listen to Thumper....He shouldnt be posting on this side anyways....hes a trader to the R56 clan.....

 

he use to have a R53.....

 

Stop trying to stick up for him... . Anyways, now that Im sober I still think its a clutch..

 

Yeah so dose jan im gonna buy a stage 4, 6 puck should fix the problem.
its 800 bucks i could be saving for a head but such is life you know?

 

and UKSUV you so funny!!!!

 

You don't need a stage 4, 6 pucked clutch!

 

Its about time your lazy *** jumped in on here...

 

Dont be a puss....get this...

for the 1700 bucks it costs they can keep it.
Thats money for bigger brakes! or to pay off the car quicker.

 

Im not totaly happy with having to do it... I may try to hold off till the clutch is totaly dead. it seems worse when it heats up.

 

That's when its gonna slip the most...

 

Its fine when its cold and i need a new set of tires.
I have a great line on a set of wheels with tires from a good friend so i may have to do that first. and hope i can do the clutch later!
Money is gonna be tight for a while.

 

Do the clutch first. You won't be able to use your new wheels/tires when your car is undriveable. Call South Bend Clutches a call and see what they can do for you. They worked magic with my S4 (320 whp 380 wtq) for a very good price.

 

It will only slip when hot. so i figure if i dont beat on it it wont be a huge problem.
And i know i need a stage four. its gonna take the load ill put thru it.

 

oh and uhh number?

 

Odds are a 2006 with a slipping clutch has already been beat on...

 

If you are running with clutch slip under steady-state cruising, then your clutch death is imminent.

It's already there.......
