    Clutch problems again!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So had greg install an oem clutch disc, and a low mileage OEM pressure plate along with some exhaust work.
    The car has no other performance mods at the momenet. I found my APR 93 octane chipped ECU and threw that in the car.
    Not ten minutes into having it in the car the clutch starts slipping.
    I am 90% sure that its the clutch, Its a rather abrupt shuddering when the car starts boosting.
    The CEL will flash and then stay on right after the shudder, which make me think it might be something to do with with rear cats deleted. I dont know what to do. Its driving me crazy.
    I have been in contact with greg, but im wondering if anyone has had a similar situation.

    Thanks in advance

    Was the SAC adjusted ? also, what about the FW, was it re-surfaced ? and what TOB did you use with the new clutch ?

    CEL usually flashes for misfires IIRC. Your APR chip could be the culprit. Take it out and drive the car

    Pull the codes before speculating. A flashing CEL is likely misfires. Oh and wtf would you install a used pressure plate?! Unless you aren't paying anything for labor (or you love pulling tranny's yourself) why not just cough up an extra few hundo and buy a brand new clutch. It will save you money in the long run....

    i am beginning to believe it is misfire related
    the clutch hold fine when its stock ecu.
    I have to get the car vag'ed before i can make any judgements
