Your shifting needs more finesse. Stop changing gear like you're on Best Motoring. Your drivetrain (and passenger) will appreciate it.

So basically if you match perfectly the engine rpm with the road speed you will not be feeling the CDv intervene?

i know how to drive. and sometimes i want to drive with a certain amount of speed and acceleration. telling me to drive like my grandmother (RIP) does not alter the fact that the car slips, and it seems that the pressure plate is the main culprit, with the heavier flywheel a runner up. again, why not post something meaningful and helpful as opposed to something that does not put me or anyone closer to a solution??

Obviously NOT!

Don't listen to these haters bro. Its common knowledge the stock clutch and heavy ass Ap2 flywheel strait blow. These fanboys trying to tell you its your driving are damn insane. Order up a nice lightweight flywheel and clutch set, remove the cdv crap, and enjoy. I jerked the stock clutch out of my car about 3 months after I bought it new in 06. The combo of the heavy ass ap2 flywheel and small diameter weak sauce pressure plate makes for lots of high rpm slippage, lethargic revving, and just plain poor performance. I recommend an 11lb or lighter flywheel and whatever aftermarket clutch you like. Most any are an improvement over the stocker. I can promise you once you remove the lead weight flywheel and get the cdv out, you'll never go back. It really brings the car to life.

3 separate posts to rudely tell this guy that he "doesn't know how to drive," despite him posting intelligently and demonstrating that he does in fact have a clue? Pathetic.

X2 Getting rid of the cdv will fix most of the clutch slip.

Until you change the flywheel, you will just need to get used to slowing down your shifts and smoothing things out. If you are used to being able to dump the clutch when the revs are still above road speed, it's just not going to work in this car. If you are letting the clutch out when the revs are matched, you will be able to go full throttle and not slip unless your clutch is already toasted. Also, if you screw up your shift and let it slip at full throttle, it may take some driving to clean up the clutch and get it to grab properly again. I'm not saying you are a bad driver, by any means. You're just rushing your shifts faster than the AP2 drivetrain is set up for. There's a reason a lot of AP2 owners swap flywheels the first time they replace the clutch.

Until then, focus on matching your revs and enjoy the car. The real speed in this car comes from the way it goes around corners.

You are wrong. It is not the CDV. The CDV does not slip the clutch.
