possibly because you have an upgraded valvetrain?

 

oh really? lol is that it?

 

.

 

what trans do you have? also could your clutch be sliping?

 

b16 tranny

clutch slipping how can i tell?

 

with the b16 trans you should be around 3800 rpm in 5th gear at 70mph... if your taching more than 4000 then i'd say its the clutch slipping

 

oo yea it is more... so I need a new clutch basically? Anything to do with flywheel?

forgot to mention i got a stg 2 clutch and AcT light flywheel so yea.

 

if you cant sqeek tires shifting from first to second then u have bad clutch.


or go about 30 and put it in 5th gear and gun it, if the rpms rise but the car doesnt move then its slipping.

 

alright ill try that. if it is slipping then i need a new clutch correct

 

well why would you built your top end and not get new valves? expecially with hc pistons.. are they domed hi comp? could be a reason. and if you can get up to 65 knowing you probably killed it cause you would be getting on the interstate.. you would know your clutch is slipping..

i mean i know i put a brand new clutch on my coupe and when i slam second it drags like it's fuckn gone already.. but it's a the fly wheel.. needs to be resurfaced.. but anyway let me know

and I didnt understand the the last part of this...

 

u can also check ur clutch by being parked with the motor running and put the shifter in 5th gear and slowly let off the clutch. if it keeps running ur clutch is Shot- thats what i was told anyway

 

sorry i speak jdm..

just do this.. launch it from about 4-5g and if you see burnout marks your good to go

 

woah its deff more then 4200 at 70.. i have a a b16 trans with ls fifth gear and thats like 3800 at 70

 

ill try your advices thx.

I tried this today and it moved but the rpm dropped like crazy lol.. not enough power .. but rpm does not rise so.

 

your Clutch is slipping most likely if your slipping in 5th at the much rpm's then its the clutch i am sure.. Just my 2 cents...
