VXII S-Pack Clutch Slip

[Jesterarts]

Hey,
Just today i noticed that i've got abit of a clutch slip when i put my foot down.
Say I'm in 5th on 90, n i put my foot down the RPM goes up heaps, then as it starts dropping i start to speed up heaps....

My question being,
Whats the solution, how much, and should i have it looked at urgetly??
Cheers

How often does it do it? It used to happen to me a heap when before the clutch burnt out on me on my VT S, i think since i have had it replaced, it happened once not long after i got it, and never since then. You may be looking at a new clutch depending on how often it does it

It does it each time i give her abit in any gear.....The rpm goes through the roof n then settles before it actually catches and i get some acceleration...
Its still under the dealer warranty so he should fix it for me...

[bsbozzy]

Go and tell them, they will most liely replace it. Mine was under warranty, should be no problems

[VN_Luke]

i would have thought clutch wasn't covered by warranty? (just because it's a wearable item, kind of like tires?)

how many k's has the car done, out of curiosity? have you had it since new?

[Jesterarts]

Nah, i got the car 2 weeks ago from a used car dealer...
So its under his 3month, 5000km warranty...

[bsbozzy]

Same warranty as mine, it will be replaced without an issue.

Is your car a V6? as the V6 had a dual mass flywheel and if that is stuffed as well this will cost a packet if not covered by warranty.

Sounds like it definitely needs replacing dude.

[Jesterarts]

Yeah, duel mass flywheel.
Yeah..money...lol
Lucky for me the dealer i used wasn't a total prick so we got the work done for a cheaper price through a mechanic he uses and he also chipped in 400 bux..
So a new clutch kit, new bolts, seal, etc only cost me 600 bux!
Instead of the 1200 holden wanted to charge me!
