anyone have there motor bog some during a launch, still feeling out the clutch, not used to all wheel drives. is this normal, dont want to burn tha clutch or tha tires.

 

You may be letting out of the clutch too fast. Try slipping out more. i also suck at launching but i let out too slow

 

if you're going to launch, u should be worried more about the life of your tranny rather than the clutch or the tires. Wrx tranny = expensive to replace and won't stand up to a lot of abuse.


Either way, if u still plan on doing it, do not dump the clutch like u would on a 2wd vehicle. You must slip the clutch.

 

If ur motor Bogs then ur letting it out too fast. But Seriously i wouldn't launch a WRX because it take too much to break all 4 tires and u are just putting too much stress on the tranny.

 

thanx for the add more slip advice,...but the real advice is to never race, or drag the car? dunno if i can live with that, why am i puttin on upgrades?

 

go ahead and drag the car. Just don't be surprised that your tranny will break on u sometime in the future. You got to pay to play.

 

I don't think that WRX trannies are as weak as other people say. I have around 40 high RPM (4.5-5K) launches on my stock tranny and around 26K miles on it. No hint of slipping of my clutch either. I talked to a guy locally about where I should launch and shift gears at and he told me about 5.5K rpm launch and 6.5K rpm shiftpoints. I'm going to try that and see because I only managed a 14.586 at best so far. My 60' times suck too, my best was 1.9

 

i had lika 1.4 60, and still got 13.9
