I have a 04 (yes with a clutch delay valve).

I never launch my car from standing(many 4-2, 6-3 shifts), but I decided to launch for short distance last week. (it was damp night and engine was 1/3 hot). When I dumped the clutch at 5k, car moved slow and rpm went to redline so fast.
Witnesses told me they saw some smoke.. and it stinked too.

and I tried to find out if this was a delay valve problem, but I can't duplicate this.
Car launches fine now (with little sense of clutch delaying, not too much).

Is it possible to get slipping with bad launching? (but I dumped it).
I just can't think the delay valve as a cause because delay valve slipping can't be this bad.

help~
thankss

 

my guess is you didn't dump the clutch fast enough the first time. could be the delay valve too though.

 

Chances are it's the delay.... My experience with it is that it's tempermental. Hence the reason it had me It would kick in sometimes and be fine others. I would NOT TRY duplicating it cause your going to take miles off your clutch very quickly...

Just know that it's there and drive accordingly..
