Sick as fook

After spending £335 getting a new plastic splitter fitted, had a drive up Barnard Castle yesterday and realised me clutch is slipping. At least I presume that's what it is. Seems to be all right driving normally round town but when you go to floor it on the back roads the engine makes plenty on noise but the revs ain't moving. Pure sick could do without the cost, new I should have got it changed when I fooked the gearbox up. Whats the recommendations for a replacement then? As its quite clear it cant handle the extra power. Going to have to ring Darren up tomorrow I hope it can fit me in this week as its going to Japshow all next weekend, if I cant get it changed would it be unwise to try and attempt a 450 mile round journey been driving sensibly? Wonder what the labour costs are going to be never mind the clutch

never had a fooked clutch in the scoob, but in the French shite av had when clutch was fubard the revs hit the limiter

Might not be then, have to get someone that knows what there on about to have a ride out in it but its not right.

Doesn't sound like clutch mate, have you got a boost gauge fitted? If so what is it reading when you put your foot down?

No mate just been out there again and I have described the problem wrong. Its spot on through the gears 2-5 but if you say floor it in 4th from low down the rev range the revs jump up a few thou.

Definitely sounds like clutch mate!

welcome to the fook clutch gang mine started slipping yesterday Excedy clutch bought and on way

Agree, your clutch is knackered, to be honest it has lasted well with all the launches you do, bet when it comes out it's down to the rivets.

The standard hawkeye clutch is more than capable of handling 400 ft lbs of torque no problem when it has some meat on it

Wouldn't bother looking at uprated clutches, just refit a standard one and be a little more liberal with the launch control

bad crack,should have called for a cuppa

I passed you mate on the way there, least if it wasn't you it was exactly the same car. What clutch should I be looking at putting in then, any recommendations? They seem few and far between for the 2.5 5 speed. Exedy is all I can find.

Missed your post there Jonny standard one sounds good to me if it means saving coin

Not that I have the time to buy it online, does anywhere local sell them, cant see one on import car parts for my model.

Drew may be able to get you one at a good price, and fit it too!

Drews kindly said he can fit me in Wednesday if Darren is fully booked, ail find out tomorrow. Just getting back from, then back to Chester le Street. Mother always gets the job, shes still fuming about me dragging her to Blackpool one night for a gearbox, she ain't a fan of the Impreza.

[quote="Calvert_87"]I passed you mate on the way there, least if it wasn't you it was exactly the same car. probably er indoors been shopping AGAIN

if you 2 lads needing clutch's fitted are not already sorted gis a shout

got a quite week from tuesday onwards

And my bad look continues. Some silly bint decided not to look when pulling out into an ally I was driving down, least she admitted it, first thing she said. Me lass said she was sure she seen her texting on her phone but as I was looking where I was going I never seen. Could have been worse but am not happy going to look shit at Japshow and it was a chew on last time to get it sorted. No shite neither when I rang the insurance company up she asked if I had whiplash and I said I didn't as it was a low impact crash but me right side of me neck is killing now and it feels like its burning even with a little bump like that. If its hurting in the morning am going straight from work to hospital.
