Hi,

When I am driving (MY99), whether it be normal or hard, when I accelerate the engine revs an extra 1k then drops back down and bites then the car goes. This happens all the time, if I am driving in 5th, and a slow down and then put my foot down again it revs up then drops and bites and off I go.

Is this is clutch thing?

Thanks

Sounds like the clutch to me. Mine started slipping after 90k so I had my moneys worth.

I would say, mine didn't last very long after the first signs of slipping!!! some go on for ages but mine didn't, only about 500 miles this included a 300 mile trip up to API to have some other work done, so had an exedy one fitted when I was there.

Exactly the same thing has happened to my car ive only done 1000 miles in it since i bought it, gutted, would you reccomend a standard replacement or an upgraded jobbie? and what sort of figures are we talking?: its a jdm 95 wrx thanks.

Alright chap

It would be a good idea to buy a upgraded clutch. AP clutch are good for 400 bhp.

If you look in groupbuy section, Api do a exedy clutch which is so smooth compared to oe clutch, and is capable of handling 400ftlbs.

next one will not take place till match.

Cost for 5 speed roughly £320 plus fitting costs of £200 or
£400 for the 6 speed box and yet another £200 for fitting

Thanks for replies guys.

Is this something my local garage can do, or do you suggest a specialist?

Thanks for they replies, tried a few garages on my way into work and they all looked scared to death when I asked if they did clutch's. Must be a tricky part

I will try APP for sure, but in the mean time, if anyone knows of anyone in the BARNSLEY area that does clutch's, please let me know.

Thanks again..

Paul.
