Clutch slippage?

[Breezybro]

Hi, just a quick question. I had to drive quite a bit today and on the way home in some stop and go traffic I noticed my engagement started to become pretty harsh... It almost felt like wheel hop. Still is doing it 3 hours later pulling into my apartment.

My question is, does clutch slippage feel like wheel hop? If not, how would you explain it? This is with the RS, but I've grown accustomed to engaging 1st better as to not give everybody whiplash.

Thank you

The engine revs up, but you don't go any faster kinda like driving on ice lol... Burnt smell usually goes along with this as well. I've never had wheel hop when my clutches were slipping/eventually went out on my manual cars.

How many miles?
How often do you drive it in stop and go traffic?
Does the "wheel hop" feeling go away as the rpm's go up/gears shift or is it a constant thing?


Kinda sounds like a warped flywheel? Maybe you overheated it while driving in traffic?


All I got...hope it's a start

Mine started doing this recently. I only notice it in first, and when I let it slip too much and/or the engine flares up because racecar.

It feels like the equivalent of a warped rotor when braking, and can result in a repeated shake of the car, and an abrupt engagement. I'm at 3 years and 40K miles, and not the most experienced person with a clutch.

I wonder if it's something I did, or a fault. Either way, I feel like the GMPP clutch kit is the appropriate answer.

You'll need the flywheel as well unless the oem can be resurfaced. Might as well upgrade to lightweight? You may need to adjust your idle vis toone
It's like a trickle effect this modding racecarstuffz

About 32k. Yes it doesn't do it at higher gears. Very little stop and go traffic normally too. I let it slip a decent amount when people are in the car so they don't hate my rs
