JB1 6MT Clutch Update "Poll"

elamothe15

Ready to race!
Because all of the 6MT people question about clutch longevity, let's dedicate this thread to only JB1 (not flash tunes) and figure out who's clutch has started to slip and who's hasn't.

From what I've seen, there have been a select few people with clutch issues when paired with the JB1. List how many tuned miles you're at, which map you use, whether or not you have bolt ons, and how your clutch is holding up, etc.

Here's my data:
7k tuned miles (22k total)
11/2014 build date
Custom JB1 Map 6 with 93oct
Neuspeed Intake
No clutch issues so far...knock on wood

39,0000 miles (about 20,000 with JB1 and 93 octane)
MAP 1 @ 5.0 slipped a small amount in 6th gear at 3,000-3,500 rpm
MAP 6 @ 5.0 with 3-4K rpm turned down a few tenths of a psi, the slipping stopped.

I can pull my MAP 6 numbers if anyone wants. I don't remember them right now.

Not sure of my build date: Bought it in Nov. of 2014 and it never sat on the dealer lot.

15k with JB1+DP, no slip.
Approx 50-60 1/4 passes on that, many no lift.
