I have a clutch problem again, I searched, and it seems like the normal symtom is for the clutch to slip, then engage?


Mine behaves quite the opposite.
Car is a r40 hara with a mega zx12 outlaw.
It would move from 1/4 throttle blips, and it has no problem launching from standstill.

Lets say I have full engagement coming down a straight, and let go for the braking. Everything starts to go wrong from there.
I cannot use the throttle to help point the car, I cannot launch out of a corner.
It doesnt matter if I bilp/feather the throttle cautiously, or just gun it, it just slips.

The clutch just doesnt "re-engage". BAsically, it's something like this:
full gas(engage), let go(disengage), then give gas again(wont engage).

I just need to leave it alone for a second or two( untill it comes to a standstill or a slow roll), then it would have a nice low engagement again.

My car sounds like a clown out there, please advise.

*The mtx4 yellow shoe is just plug&play right?
