devo Member 64 Member For: 17y 1m 23d Posted 13/04/09 06:54 AM Share Posted 13/04/09 06:54 AM looking at getting a tune, injectors and hopefully a Plazmaman front mount shortly, expecting around 260rwkw or so as power levels are always a bit low here in NT with the humidity. I was wondering what the likely hood of the stock clutch holding out with this power level would be. I dont give it hell around town, but it will be at Powercruise in darwin, however if its dragged it will be on stockies so there will not be alot of launching grip and therefore pressure on the clutch. I am planning a clutch upgrade but was just wondering if its going to be needed straight away. Car only has 15000kms so clutch is (I imagine) in good nick.

I have had nearly 300rwkw in my ute for over 6 months with the stock clutch and it hasn't slipped once yet(nov 05 bf). I'm actually surprised it hasn't, the ute tows a 750kg builders trailer just about every day.Cheers, Greg.

It will hold in low gears but not in 4th. I pulled mine out and it wasn't worn....it's just that there isn't enough clamping force to hold the torque.

devo Member 64 Member For: 17y 1m 23d Posted 16/04/09 11:05 AM Author Share Posted 16/04/09 11:05 AM the money is there for a clutch, im just dont like the idea of spending it... so if the clutch does itself in it wont be a drama.
