Fail SC clutch
Have anyone experience a fail SC clutch?
Just driving down the road, give a little gas, nothing, floor it, accelerate slowly like a normal E. Physically everything looks fine. SC clutch looks normal, AIT normal, don't have MAP reading just yet. No leak, nothing explode, belts are fine, car drive fine except for the lack of power.
I'm 95% sure it's the SC clutch. Just wondering if anything else could be wrong beside the sc clutch.
My car have the sc squeal for the last two years, so I guess it's time!!

Mine has chirped for quite some time. Now it seems to be slipping in casual to semi aggressive driving, so it may go completely out soon.

My bearing is screwed up and I have a new one in my garage but I couldn't get the S/C bolt of even if my life depended on it. I have an impact wrench and it laughed in my face. Is there any special technique to get this off?

I removed my rad cover to get a clean shot at the bolt.
i heated mine for about 30 secs. the impact wrench took care of the rest.
hope it helps

Once, when tuning on Dyno, my SC decided not engage. Just like that. Looked around, everything was good.
Pump has to me running
IATs have to be under XXX (Don't know value, but over 150)
After a quick call to an expert: Disconnected the battery for 10 minutes (Bled off residual power by putting positive cable to ground) and when we reconnected, all was fine. That was over a year ago.
I know that is slim chance considering your failed under "normal driving" but is is worth a shot. Its easy
If not the clutch, the other thing that can prevent the clutch from engaging is if the connector on the lower TB comes off. Don't ask me how I know
Again, slim chance of that, its glued in pretty good, and would not come off on its own, Good luck!!

Do the TB reset procedure, I faced this twice, the car won't give fuel and if u tried to floor it it will only give little power like 10 - 20 % only.
Search TB rest, Tbal has posted one around.
Good luck.
