Is this my clutch slipping?

[Geordie]

When im driving in 2nd or 3rd gear mainly and i put my foot down the revs go up but theres no power! after a few seconds the power comes back an the revs go down.  Is this the clutch slipping?

if it is the clutch has anyone got any info on a replacement and what will i be looking at costs wise, part + about a days labour?

Yes! Almost definitely.

Yes, sounds like it is slipping.

sounds like the clutch to me,what ever you do dont go back to the duel mass fly wheel rubbish,the solid fly wheel conversion with vr6 goodies in the link is far better

time for the upgrade!  2nd best thing i done to the car

i have also done the Vr6 - ABF/G60 setup, however, Nick from R-tech is running a DMF standard setup with near enough 300hp.

As for clutch I am running the stock oem dmf and clutch set up, so cannot comment on the vr6 solid setup, but I have known the solid conversion to suffer with stage2 ko3s mapping in the past, but never looked in to why it was slipping under load. You need to do some research on the solid setup and see what people are actually pushing from them and where the peak torque is rpm wise.

Not sure if he rates the SMF

he might need it soon tho

Pretty sure the Vr6 is only rated to 250hp / 250 lbs which i will be going over in the near future, so we will soon see
