Default Uh oh...first sign of slippage.

At 3500 rpms in 5th, punching it will slip the clutch slightly now, jumps to about 4200 rpms.

All other gears are fine right now at any RPMs. Can't slip it except in 5th at 3500. Seems to be the sweet spot to slip right now.

GIAC flashed at 14,500 miles
GIAC FXK03 at 82,000 miles
Currently at 87,000 miles. Stock clutch has held up pretty well and still has some life left in it. Just gotta remember not to punch it in 5th at that RPM =P

Gotta start to look at clutches. Ugh!

Default I didn't break it!

The injectors broke it ;-)

Btw, I assume we're not on for tomorrow for Jimmy's RNS-E? Suppose to be crappy weather...snowfall overnight tonight.

Default I have K04, 56K mi and my stock clutch is still holding, I have a SB clutch in the garage

but I think it's a waste of time to install it now if I'm not experiencing any issues. I surprised how well the stock one has held up so far even with the K04.

Default You drove my car. I'm running the SB OFE SS with the OEM FW.

SB FE SS is fine as well. Winston's running that one I believe.

I'm close, but not due to power, more due to stop and go traffic between 0 and 10mph.
