ok i need some common power loss problems. i have the 305 tpi which isnt much but i cant even chirp them in second anymore! its pathetic and i wonder if anyone knows some power loss fixes?

thanks,
ben

 

I can barely chirp in 1st Have you done a full tune-up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc)? Getting any codes? What gears are you running?

-Rippin

 

well i can burn them all day in first still but as soon as i hit 2nd it kind of bogs down even worse in third and forth is a joke. yea back in march i did new plugs and wires new cap and rotor. i also put a new fuel filter on over the summer. oil was just changed and i even went as far as to buy that crappy octane booster to see if that would help......nope! i am runnin 3.08 gears but before i could get a nice little chirp now nothing

 

clutch

 

that is what i was thinking. every once in a while when i have the clutch pressed in i get a horrible squealing sound coming from my tranny/clutch area. as soon as i let off the clutch it quits, it doesnt happen all the time though and now it isnt running as fast as it used to.........any ideas?

 

Possibly plugged cat converter? those are a major source of lost power sometimes... just an idea...

 

A bad through out bearing or pilot bushing/brearing will cause the squealing. As far as power loss and bad cat like mentioned can cause loss of power, need of a tune up or engine wear. If you trying to spin them in second good chance the engine has wear.

 

I had the same problem, lack of power it seemed... but it was actually the clutch; just wasn't bad enough to think that was the problem!

I got a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch and throwout bearing. I can now spin 3rd lol, but the tranny isn't happy... seems like the extra power I am making was slipping thru the stock clutch, and now that it can get to the tranny the things getting pretty loud in 1,2,3
