Strange momentary clutch slip...

[akira3d]

Yesterday, I took a coworker for a spin in my NSX-T and wanted to demonstrate the acceleration.

I launched well in first, but when I shifted into second and quickly let out the clutch, the clutch engaged briefly but then appeared to slip allowing the engine to rev high towards the redline. I pushed the clutch in, shifted into third and had no problems when engaging.

After slowing down, I decided to launch again and had no problems with the clutch engaging in second. In fact, when I drove home later in the evening, I had no problem with the clutch not engaging. Strange.

Anyone have a similar one-time occurance like this?

Eric,

I have all kinds of problems with 2nd gear on my 2000-T. They are just intermittent enough so that it never happens when I take my car to the dealer. I took a friend for a ride the other day and was going to show off the acceleration I threw it into 2nd and it immediately made a short grinding noise and popped out into neutral. Usually (about 6 time in 4 months) my problem is that it simply will not go into 2nd and I just skip it and go to 3rd.

Interesting, I was half expecting to hear this being a solo experience. I'm going to pay a lot of attention to my second gear before I bring my NSX in for its next oil change.

As I said, this has only happened to me once, and I've never had it happen to me before or after (of course, I need to drive my car more before I'll know for certain if this was a fluke).

I only have about a thousand miles on my car and haven't noticed any clutch slippage in any gear but I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if it happens to me.
