Clutch Problems

[mac84]

I hav a ba turbo ute which supposedly has a heavy duty clutch in it and ive jus noticed that wen it comes on boost in fourth gear it instantly slips and hit 7000 rpm it doesnt do it in any other gear does this mean I need a new clutch and wat would b a good option and is it easy to replace myself

Yeah mate that means your clutch is cactus I don't know what to reccomend though as im still on my stock clutch I think there is some debate on mal woods clutches some swear by them some say they are sh*te do some searching and yea shall find

I just put an extreme cush button clutch in my sedan I like it but I don't. Might not be a real complaint in some peoples eyes but it has softer feel then stock and with how much engagement pressure it has it shouldn't be slipped or ridden but it's so soft and feels so oem it's hard not to in car parks. It's hard to be a bastard on a clutch that feels like you don't need to be.

I think you are stretching it, Of all the clutches they have supplied or installed

Mal Woods would have very few unresolved issues.

Mal and his team have an exemplary record in terms of their products, service and R&D

How many shops offer 6 speed upgrades ? led the way in developing a gear box and

clutch set up for 500 +rwkw cars

BCLs beast comes to mind.over 8 years ago.Pioneering stuff.

Calling em sh*t is a long bow to draw.

This guy would have a 99% approval rating.

You must be a labor voter lol.

Malwood x2. Never had a problem

Haha labour voter.

Malwood opt 3 ftw

Opt 5 if your tipping well into the 400's.

You would probably need to give a little more info before people can make clutch recommendations other than saying I use such and such.

For example what power is your car making and are you planning to leave it that way or upgrade it.

Is it 5 speed or 6 speed?.

Will you be driving in peak hour traffic for an hour or 2 every day?

"Supposedly has a heavy duty clutch". This suggests that you recently purchased the car and the previous owner told you the clutch was heavy duty which it may or may not be.

Do you push the car hard, ie, hard take offs and lots of burn outs?
