Default Re: High gear clutch slippage

I don't know about the dyno thing but in my opinion when you go to high gear the clutch has more of a load on it than being in low gear. The less gear reduction the more stress on the clutch. For example if you have a 3.25 first gear ratio and a 1.94 second gear and you dump the clutch in first gear the clutch is almost out of the equation as far as load or slippage. If you dump the clutch in second gear you will slip the clutch because its seeing more load. At least that's my view on it.
