Good evening all. It’s been a great 15k miles so far. Used Ktuner for a mild tune at about 6k.
The clutch has been slipping more and more... I think. Can anyone confirm that the below description is definitely a slipping clutch, please?
In any gear, 4 or above, if I punch it, even at 3000+RPM, the engine revs up as expected, but the acceleration/ power output doesn’t do much, and seems to need to “catch up”.
If this is a slipping clutch, should I bother complaining to my dealer to see if they’ll do anything? Is there a snowball’s chance I could get an upgraded clutch under factory warranty? Do I definitely need to UNFLASH before taking it in for this?
Should I upgrade my clutch now, or wait till it wears out more, to...get more value from my factory one? Is there a risk in using the weak clutch longer?
Thank you for answering any or all of my questions!
