Default Turbo GSR.. clutch can't handle power?

Well I thought it was my clutch as first since it slipped and I felt the shaking of the shift boot and the sound of the clutch slipping. I also smelled it. But I got my stage 5 clutch in and after about 40 miles I did just one full throttle run through only 2nd and I felt that same **** shaking like your running too much power for the clutch? Maybe the clutch needs to get a couple more hundred miles before it stops doing that?

Cliffnotes: When I hit full boost and vtec, the **** shakes and a skipping noise is heard of like a clutch slipping. Is the clutch not broken in yet? I have about 120 miles on it now and havent tried it since.

I also got a fuel cut i think... bigger injectors anyone?
Whats a good place to buy them from online?
Thanks.

uh you need to break it in for about 1000-3000 miles i thought unless its organic then you dont need to break it in.

you definitly need to put another 500-700 more miles on it before it stops chattering.

I think you are a little mixed up. It is very important to break in an organic clutch or you will burn one up VERY fast. Generally it is ceramic clutches that don't require a break-in period.

I had a friend destroy an organic clutch in less than a month. Mostly because he can't drive, and he didn't break it in properly.

in reailty...around 200-300 is good enough. manufacturers say about 500 is optimum.

what kind of clutch is it? stage 5 is a little vague.

and are you sure its fuel cut? could be boost cut. ask your tuner what the duty cycle is on the injectors.
