To start off its a BA mk1 5 speed manual.270+rwkw.Just recent I accelerated from a 80 to a 110 zone planting it in 4th. Traction control was off. At about 4000 revs I got a bit of shudder and the revs climbed rapidly and the speedo basically stayed put. Tried again this morning in 4th pretty much the same scenario but revs didn't really climb just sounded as if it was free revving. Was very hard to tell if it was wheelspin or not.Stopped the car. Couldn't noticeably smell clutch however there was a faint smell. I could just be paranoid. Now the previous owner said it have a heavy duty clutch. It does feel very heavy. I had a peep through the holes in the bell housing and I couldn't see any bright colours on the pressure plate. So I'm guessing it's stock. Also I can't seem to do it in the lower gears 1st and second either lay a big skid or hook up and pin me to the seat so no problems there. I don't want to try it in 3rd as its the dreaded t5 box.Is this clutch slip? Or torque cut? Boost cut? Anything in particular?Any past experiences on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will start in 4th then you will notice it in 3rd then 2nd then all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MX Dave Donating Members 545 Member For: 13y 10m 9d Gender: Male Posted 09/12/11 06:03 AM Author Share Posted 09/12/11 06:03 AM Will do thanks everyone. And one last thing. Can anyone tell me if there is a different between te NA t56 and the T T56 as I can score a NA one pretty cheap. Would it be the standard new slip yoke conversion as per normal In sedans or are they different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
