Well, 2 days after a remap - the Angel tuning one - I now have clutch slip - I think. Accelerating in 5th and 6th between 1500 and 2000 rpm, the engine suddenly speeds up to 2500. More gentle acceleration and no slip.

Quite weird though. I was on a icy road and thought it may be wheelspin but the ESP light never flashed as it does normally.

No noticeable slip otherwise in lower gears - irresistible force vs harder to move object (higher gearing) ?

So a couple of questions. What do I need to fit as a replacement to stop this ?

What are the likely cost ballparks (I will sit down first :thumbdwn: and then cry - a lot) ?

And a bonus 3rd question - If I'm gentle how long may it last before I need to swap it ? Seems to drive fine apart from this.

Thanks.

Likely cost for a performance clutch and flywheel? Hmmm, well you should budget around £500+ for clutch and flywheel I suspect, and then 3 or 4 hours for fitting? Look for Sachs/Helix, etc. I got mine imported from the USA which was ideal for me as for £600 I got a 560 lb/ft clutch.

If you're gentle, should be OK for quite some time.

or dont boot it from 1500rpm!

even as standard you'll kill the clutch doing that.

feed the power in gently up to about 2500 - then boot it and it's smiles all the way

Or you can just drop a cog. Remapped fabbys need to be driven more like a petrol car. You've got plenty of bhp high up - use it!

My thoughts as well, just adapt your driving style.

I'd rather drop a gear than pay £500.

Its going to be tricky as I love the punch, but yeah I suppose I should adopt a new style.
