Taylor.mcgovern Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hey all... I was wondering if someone could help me out with something I'm experiencing. Im pretty sure its the clutch but I thought I would have other symptoms if that was the case. Ive noticed that if I'm in gears 4,5 or 6 and I get on the gas at a low RPM the engine RPM and Boost revs up, the car doesn't go anywhere and then all of a sudden it catches and takes off. It feels just like I'm spinning the tires but I know I'm not. No problems at all with gears 1,2 and 3. I can pull on them as hard as I want and nothing feels like its slipping. The clutch pedal itself feels fine and I'm not smelling anything either. Anyone got any ideas before I go spend $1200 and put a clutch in? She's a 2010 Shelby with the 2.5" Pulley and tune and 37,000 miles on the whole car. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 A search for "clutch" in the title will bring up countless topics on this subject. Since it's out of warranty (unless you have extended) I'd replace it with a non-Ford version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT5HUN Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 That's a classic sign of a slipping clutch. I'd throw a stock one back in, if you don't plan on modding it more than you have now. I wouldn't recommend to continue "getting it to slip in 4-5-6 gears", a few more of those pulls, and you won't have a clutch. Another test, but this only works on really slipping clutches, put it in 5th gear, at a stop, fully stepping on the brakes, and let the clutch out. The engine should immediately stall. I had a clutch, on a different car, that would continue to run, after doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
