My first mod - Hint: Switzer Tune
#53
Does it happen only when you're running a tune or stock as well? I just tracked my car for the first time on the stock tune and it ran perfectly all day. The car has 4k miles on it and has never ever been driven hard until I tracked it. If it was the clutch there would be signs under all circumstances.
I've had my M Coupe for 11 years and I've never changed the clutch.

Then how come it doesn't do that on the first day on the tune upload? and why doesn't the clutch slip when I floor it starting second gear instead of third? it only happens in third and fourth gear, and about 75% of the time. I'm not a mechanic, but it doesn't sound consistent.
Either way, why does an off-the-shelf basic tune cause the clutch to slip? I wouldn't mind a milder tune with less torque so the car would run reliably.

it doesnt do it on the first day because as you re-flash the car, it takes a day or two to get the full amount of power from the chip.
i have UMW software on my car (approx 500rwhp, and a TON of torque).
the gt2 clutch that you have in your car is the same as in a turbo (not a very strong clutch).
