I did a second gear pull in my car tonight and it seemed fine then all of a sudden the tach started to bounce off redline? I thought it might be my clutch slipping but i have never experienced a clutch slip like that? One moment i was at 5k next its bouncing off the points? Also my throttle is stiff now?

 

Do your engine rpms actually climb or does the gauge just move? Did you check to see whats making your throttle stiff?

 

Check your ICM in the distributor.

 

The actually rpms climb.

 

What is that?

 

The tachometer signal comes from the ICM in the distributor. I mistakenly thought you were saying that the tach reading was jumping around independent of the engine speed. Sounds to me now like your throttle plate or cable is sticking. Cleaning the throttle body with carb cleaner may help.

 

Ok that might fix the stiff throttle but what about the car bouncing off limiter when i was in 2nd WOT? Could my clutch just be slipping really bad?

 

It's possible. Did you smell the clutch burning? How many miles on the clutch?

 

There is probably 20k on the OEM clutch but i recently boosted my car.

This is almost exectly was my car does at full boost.
There is no way my car would burn out in a 2nd gear pull is there? I only have 170whp.

get a clutch what a dif that will make.....clean your throttle body and check the cable

 

Could i just be spinning tire? I could not hear tire but i also have winter tires on.

 

spinning TIRE ur dumb

 

the tires where spinning and you were in third gear.......nice haha

 

That is not my car in the video. I said this is what my car did. But i cant tell if my car is spinning tire or slipping clutch?

 

well then just watch the spedo if it doesnt go up you have no clutch

 

Clutch slipping would be consistent correct?

Because this problem has only happened a few times and its been when i was full boost in a lower gear. I can pull 3rd 4th 5th gear full boost with no slip of the clutch?

 

not always that could happen if the clutch was just starting to go

 

I have never experienced a clutch that "broke grip" like this....

 

dont know what to tell you then stock clutch is not a good idea get a new one anyway
