Hi all,
I think I may have a buggered clutch but I am wary of being a hypochondriac about it!
Last week I did 1 of only a handful of 7k launches on a 99 R34 GTr with 80k km's, std turbo's, Power Fc, and poncams:squintdan . This combo makes 550Nm and 250rwkw when tuned.
After the launch I returned to the office with a stinky clutch, it was still stinky 5 hours later after a 45min drive home in traffic, yet didnt feel any different to drive. On the weekend I took it out and found that on a hill in 3rd with foot down I saw the front torque swing up to 20 on the gauge. Oops I buggered clutch I thought
.
But by monday after leaving the car for 2 days, I couldnt repeat it, and the worst I could do up a hill in high gears was get the torque split to read 2.9.
So have I really stuffed my clutch or did I perhaps have some oil on the friction material that has now burnt off?
What do others see on the MFD torque monitor when driving vigorously (vs clutch dumps)?
Cheers & thanks
Terrey
