How do you knw when your clutch is gone

Went out with a viper buddy the other night and did around 15 runs from a dig and various mph...

Around the 8th or so run i notice my rt10 is dropping revs from 5500 down to 5000 for a second and then building back up..

Then on the was home after all the runs my car seems like it dosent want to move till 3500 rpm's. Vrs the normal 2000 rpm's that will press me back in the seat..

Are these tell tell sighns of a bad clutch? What happennedwhen your clutch went?

It slips like yours sounds to be doing.

After it cools down, if it is still slipping like you describe, you need a new clutch. How many miles do you have on the car?

Put it under load....

Drive on the freeway @ about 55, put it in 5th, and go 3/4 to wot for a few seconds and see if your RPM's increase but your not going any faster.

Tried to move her today in the drive way and she now wont budge till 4000 rpm's in first gear....

With the car in neutral i can go up and down the rpm's 100% normal. But in gear with the clutch fully out she wont move an inch till 4000..

Guess nows a good time to send my AEM back and have the recall fixed LOL
