I heard that they're doing tunes for 599 so i figured i'd get a stage 1 tune. i live about 2.5 hours from englishtown and plan on getting an apr tune down there. i was just wondering how my clutch would hold up. i realize that it could start slipping immediately, would it be able to hold up about a week or so of me driving while i order the new clutch and set up an appointment.

67k miles
no other mods on my car except a muffler delete

Yes, you will be able to drive it just fine if it starts to slip. It's only after ~3k that it will slip if you drive hard but it will eventually catch if you ease off the gas.

Not to get off topic but what are you going down and where in ct are you coming from. I'm heading down Sunday if you're looking to cruise down. I'm from Wallingford. About 10 minutes north or new haven.

Anyway clutch may or may not slip but like said before only if you beat on it.

X2. My car slipped immediately after stage 1, I just let off when it starts to happen. 60k later, still on the stock clutch.

Depends how well you drive your car and if your not the first owner, how much abuse was put it on it already by the previous. I bought my car new. I'm now Stage 2 and I've yet to have slippage since tuning it in early May. I was also on old Stage 1 prior for over a year.

I bought my car used with 19k on it and had a stage 1 tune on it at 500 miles and I went stage 2 and it lasted me 12k miles until the new apr update came out then, it wasn't holding for shit, now I have a southbend stage 2 daily and I couldn't be happier with it

I bought my car with 22k on it, 1 owner who was an older gentlemen who babied the car but could have really worn the clutch down without trying. I went stage 1+ and started slipping immediately in 4th and 5th. I think it's really hit or miss. I just ordered all the parts for the DIY RSR clutch so we will see how it holds.
