Alright cool. Ill check it out. So the actual clutch delay valve is in the slave cylinder? Its not electronic?

fernando.

i think he means when he redlines and shifts really quick. this happens to me all the time. for the OP try letting the RPM fall just a tad bit before you release the clutch

Ya'll need to work on your clutching technique/foot work then. I can do a fairly quick upshift at 9k and not have any clutch slip.

You really should be careful launching this car it's not its strongest point. You have a very low mileage ap1 but nonetheless miles aren't everything if the car was not taken care of or ragged on all the time. If you read through the forums there are people with well over 100k miles on the original clutch. It's all about shifting/footwork and driving with sense. Sucks you need to replace a low mileage clutch. Hopefully nothing else is on its way out

Correct. AP1 slave cylinder = no clutch delay valve (CDV). AP2 slave cylinder = CDV.

I replaced the slave cylinder in my 2006 with the AP1 part specifically to get rid of the CDV.

Alright guys. Thanks for all the help. Im going to do a little research and see what I find out.

Double check clutch pedal freeplay exists

^ I am pretty sure this is your problem. It is possible that the clutch freeplay has closed up on the clutch rod which puts pressure on the clutch and it will slip with higher power and rpm load. Check underdash, use your pinky to push in the clutch pedal you should have some freeplay in the pedal before you feel the clutch disengagement point, if you don't feel the freeplay that means the clutch is already past the disengagement point. You should have a bit of freeplay or slop in the pedal. If it feels tight then loosen the 12mm nut on the clutch rod and turn the clutch rod counter-clockwise to introduce some freeplay, maybe 1/4 inch or so.

I'd start with pedal freeplay. I have over 177k miles on my original '00 clutch and it exhibits no slipping, so they can certainly last a long time when not abused.

Clutch delay valve eases the clutch into engagement instead of allowing it to grab the flywheel quickly. It's intended primarily to minimize forces transmitted to the differential under high load. The downside is it literally creates a slipping clutch by design, which increases clutch wear.
