Very odd clutch slip 360 turbo

Post by Ride_on » 27 Feb 2016 03:25 pm

So I've got the recommended diesel clutch for the redblock turbo and and audi disk for the 360 and everything seems ok except that when i put the foot down say at 2000rpm the revs climb almost immediatly as soon as there is a little boost, by about 500rpm. But it stops dead at +500 and powers on with acceleration. All new parts, its just like an automatic.

I can't disengage the clutch fully with the handbrake on, it pushes forward. Seems to take the full power, wheel spin in the dry etc.

Could be anything to do with the Torsen LSD? Is there anything else that could slip? Clutch disk slipping internally?

I've updated this in the clutch upgrade thread. Basically the Audi disk is too thick for the Volvo pressure plate, you need to use the Astra F20 disk.
