No I haven't - perhaps you could explain the 'how to' and the benefits...please?
I havent done it myself, but it apparently in some instances gets rid of the clutch slip.
Here are the 'how to' comments I have collected:
do this little test....
at 60mph push the clutch in 1/3rd to 1/2 way push the throttle down so the needle goes up to the red zone and release the clutch so the revs drop back again whilst releasing the throttle and maintain 60mph again. give it a few hard accel in 4-5-6 gear and if it slips again let it do it a couple of times and then it should not slip anymore!!!!!
Worked for me.. I read this trick on here somewhere!
I guess it's the extra torque as we both had approx 230lbs/ft and after remap we had again approx 300lbs/ft.
Even after 3 months my clutch still doesn't slip!
Yeah, defo clutch burn out to stop slipping.
I did mine at standstill: handbrake on, hold revs in mid range, slowly let clutch out, as it starts to load up engine increase throttle, if you start to move back off throttle or clutch.
ONLY do this for 10/15 secs etc. The car will stink for a few minutes after, indeed a good reminder that you have "de-glazed" the clutch pads adequately with be the accrid/fishy smell!
Did this 3 or 4 mo ago, hasn't slipped since.
