Is my clutch slipping or something else?

Go Heels · 12-29-2007, 08:52 AM

I have an 05 S2000 with 20,000 miles..it's not my daily driver..I matter of fact I've put less than 4K on it since I got last April. Anyway when I shift at full throttle in 1-2, 2-3, the engine seems to die back for just a second after the shift is made. Is this a Honda electronic training wheel to prevent clutch engagement at full throttle ( I would presume to ensure longer tranny/drivetrain life) or could my clutch be slipping which seems odd for the miles on the car.....please help

Thanks

sounds like normal operation to me Heels.

C.D.V. ----- Clutch Delay Valve, and it's purpose is exactly what you stated.....prevent drivetrain detonation.

Could be the VSA system. Mine seems to come out of a shift a little differently with the system shut off. Hit the button and see if it makes a difference.

I figured it was normal, thanks for the input. And DJJSR, I don't think my car has VSA

You're right, you don't have VSA...

The 00-'03 models don't have the clutch delay valve. The valve can be removed and you won't have that problem any more. It might help your diff, but it'll wear out your clutch faster.
