So.... Apparently I have one of two issues:
1. Poor driving habits have led to a glazed clutch
OR
2. Clutch was/is not a fan of 380 lb/ft TQ
Solution(s)?
- Adjusted driving habits for a much quicker release of the clutch while going through the gears/staying off of throttle until clutch is out (especially that pesky damned 1-2 shift)
- Pressure bleed brake/clutch fluid thoroughly
- Massaged MALT in order to tame the torque spike
Leaning towards issue #1 because as of late; I've been driving way too softly, shifting way early and slipping the clutch after engaging another gear. Before, when I drove pretty aggressively and was mindful of the clutch, it held and held well! Time will tell but after about 100 miles of being mindful of the clutch, she's holding while passing folks in 5th gear (10lbs of boost or so).
