Launching my car = failure

[itsslow]

hey Op

What dos your TAC show on the shifts?
Does it spin up before the BOG ??

and I assume the Tac drops way off during the BOG




Much better on that run fdjizm But didint make it to 5th even with the 4:10,s ?

I dump the clutch at 4k and it bogs down to 1500-2k immediately.

It does not spin at all.

Yes it does.

If your bogging the engine, then your clutch is not slipping.
Do you have any check engine lights? almost sounds like traction control won't turn off or something not sure.

No ceL... When I tried programming my traction control off it would give me the traction control light on the speedometer too.

Sounds like you may be having an issue with your TC system homie.
If I leave TC on and try to dump the clutch it will bog me hard.
It may be stuck on, especially since you see the light in your dash, better news than a fucked clutch right? lol

I guess. Lol. Any idea how I can check and make sure that's my issue?

See what Bama says. Maximum throttle angle vs RPM settings can cause issues like this if set too conservatively.

At 160K it's probably a good idea to replace the clutch anyway if you plan on racing at all.

The one thing I expected it not to be...

 

[itsslow]

Lmao.

How do I find it if that's my problem?

 

[Fastbreak]

sounds like you need a clutch.

Time to retire that clutch sounds like the bite is gone

Clutch and log the tune.

You need 8 more valves to spin the tires! Sounds typical for a 3V to me. What's all the fuss? lol

 

[fdjizm]

And you need 4 more years to spin yours

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

^^^LOL!!!!!!

This thread has been high jacked 3 times now... Lol

Go to the highway and drive 55-60 in top gear. Floor it. If the revs shoot up without acceleration, the clutch is toast. If the car accelerates normally, the clutch is fine.

Honestly though most clutches are lucky to make it to 100k, let alone 160k.

Good method to test. When I was NA I would go 35-40 in 5th then stab it. If the revs slowly climbed like it ought to. You are good to go.

Look, get Abdulla to datalog for you, its the easiest shit to do. Then resend to bama through the email they sent you with the tune. They will look at it and get back to you. They are very good at getting issues fixed.

 

[AbdullaGT500]

Nobody seems to read other posts in this thread. The clutch isn't slipping.
The problem with me datalogging for him is that he is 2 1/2 hours away. Could be a mechanical issue, possibly something to do with the CMCV plates.
