I'm glad I have a rev limiter. Reached it on the track before knowing I was that high!

Default check motor and tranny mounts.

I hope you're not shifting into a gear reaching 6000+RPMs, you'll blow the motor.

Shifting before the clutch is fully disengaged?

Default Reduced the amount of engine/trans movement.

from the factory there is quite a bit of movement of these parts and causes what you are having. Maybe...

Default Re: Depends...

" Manual:
You're lifting off the throttle before actually releasing the clutch, and engine braking kicks in before you've released the clutch causing you to get thrown forward a bit. The clutch might not be releasing properly, or it's your driving technique. "

i'm pretty sure that is it.. however i do not believe its my technique cause ive tried tons of variations... clutch does have 90g miles on it....

perhaps a new one will help...

..if this is the problem.. what are some good clutches.. is aftermarket worth it... whats best for the buck.. ?

also....
on a scale of 1-10.. how difficult a process would it be to replace the clutch myself.. compared to changing shocks/springs which ive done..


ill also look into a DTS..

Default If shocks and springs are a 4, clutch is probably a 6, and a lift makes the job MUCH easier.

Putting in a new clutch won't necessarily fix the disengaging issue...you need to do more research to find out why the clutch might not disengage. Top right corner of your screen is the search function. Play around with it...there is a wealth of knowledge on this site.

Default installs on a scale.... DTS: 1, suspension: 3, clutch: 7

This is also about the number of hours to do each.
