Supercharged 2014 SS Clutch Issue
So I know most if not all superchargers say you should have an upgraded clutch. I was driving mine hoping to make it to this winter and then replace clutch (I live in Maine and cant drive it in winter anyway), but the other day I was just trying a couple aggressive take offs. The first I use competition mode and held it to the floor and let the clutch out aggressive, not side step but let it off about as fast as I could with my foot. About a mile down the road I wanted to try the old fashioned way where you keep revs up to about 2500 and let the clutch out so as not to spin the tires while giving it more gas, slipping the clutch. Anyway the clutch only came up about half way even with my foot off the pedal and slipped the clutch pretty bad. I pumped the clutch a couple times and it came back. I drove it up and down the road it is not slipping. No more of trying that again, but I thought it weird that the clutch only came up about half way. Has anyone experienced this???? Also recommendations for a new clutch capable of 550 RWHP?

Happened a few times to me at the strip doing some hot laps. I tried bleeding it and no air came out. Happened a lot to me on 4th gens also only when the slave was going out or it needed to be bleed. Probably heat

Boiled your clutch fluid. Use the Ranger method and change it out. Same thing happened to me recently and now clutch is fine. I went through 3 large bottles of brake fluid before mine was clear.

What is the Ranger method of changing the fluid? I am going to do that and add the Lingfellter clutch spring

When you decide to upgrade the clutch, you've got tons of options! We find Monster Clutches to be super high quality with great customer service. Their Level 2 single disc will technically support 550RWHP (that is it's max rating) but you'll be much happier with their LT1-S Twin Disc at your power level: http://www.tickperformance.com/monst...-capacity-700/ Make sure you do a new slave, billet release bearing support and Remote SPEED Bleeder Line during the install - you won't regret it! Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other driveline related questions - we do this all day, every day so there is nothing we haven't seen! |
