  • clutch issue

    So i got a new clutch not to long ago . put about 600km's on it and . just today i noticed its been slipping in 4th and 5th . when you get on it, it slips. Like in fourth at about 3000rpm then floor it and it jumps to 3300rpm then drops down to about then and goes up with acceleration.
    I Dono i got a 25,000Km warranty. I'll probly go btch about.
    Did he do somthin wrong?

    it only slips in 4th and 5th? seems weird that it wouldnt slip in the lower gears because of the gearing

      Idono. Took another drive, it doesnt slip super bad. or anything but it reminds me of when my sentra's clutch went bad. it shouldnt be doing that!
      Its kinda weird, it only slips in 4th or 5th around 150-200rpms of slipage
      no slip in the bottom gears. and theres more tq down there in 1st,2nd. indono. maybe im just over reacting.

          The higher gears, especially overdrive, put more strain on the clutch than the lower gears. If you're starting to see slippage in 4th and 5th, it will most likely get worse there and work it's way to the earlier gears... Sounds like a failing clutch to me.

          600km is roughly 370miles?? You shouldn't be banging on a new clutch that soon. I like the see a minimum of 500 miles (~800km) before any hard driving.
