Hi guys,

I am a noob when it comes to a forced induced engines.
Need your expertise.

I have a 05 STI with about 36000 miles.
Few days ago the car started acting up

The engine revs super fast after 3200 in every gear but the car is not moving like it should.
Is the clutch bad? or something wrong with the turbo?

Thanks

 

sounds like you need a new clutch.

 

as i tell everyone... your car will probably explode. more than likely right after you wash and wax her

 

Yes you need a new clutch.

 

it only acts up when I floor the gas paddle, but normal when I take it easy on the gas.

It's the clutch huh?

 

Your clutch needs replacement.

When engine torque output exceeds the ability of the clutch friction material to transfer power to the drivetrain, the clutch will slip. It'll be more noticeable when attempting a standing start on a really steep incline or when you try to accelerate quickly. The flywheel should also be resurfaced or replaced, along with throwout bearing replacement at the same time as the clutch replacement. Any reputable shop will know this already, but I mention this to prepare you for the additional costs.

 

what wingless wonder said. slipping clutch = needs to be replaced.

 

easy way to tell is put it in 5th gear at 45 MPH and floor it if the Rs go up and you arent going anywhere you clutch is done

 

what is up with that?

only one thing has gone wrong when it was super dirty haha
