Does anyone on here know anything about this and possibly if there is any way around it?

Whats clutch protection strategy?
Clutch protection is engaged based on clutch pedal switches. Used mainly when lauching and powershifting. The ECU reduces power when it sees full throttle and the Clutch engaging (Ford calls it Abuse. LOL)
Your car is having the problem in the middle of the gear. As far as I know there is no input shaft sensor, so the computer doesn't know if the clutch is slipping or not. I could be wrong however.... The Copperheads are insanely sophisticated.
I saw the same thing on my 2012 last time on the dyno. She lost 50ftlbs of TQ, but I easily solved it via programming.
To be SURE yours is the same I need logs with TQ source.
is this why when i powershift its like the engine cuts completely out instead of hitting the rev limiter?

I never noticed this. I powershifted the 2-3 last night and all I noticed was massive wheelspin. I pulled the shift at 6600. I wonder if the Pro-Cal messes with this as well? I would doubt that.

Sorry to bump an old thread but this is the only one on SVTP that talks about clutch protection.
Shaun, is the 'fix' or disabling of this feature something you're able to share with the community? In my previous car(2008 Ls3 vette) I was able to slip the clutch at will so as not to shock and break the driveline but the new 5.0 seems to close the throttle if I try and slip the clutch for longer than a second or two. Is this something I will be able to duplicate in my new car(13 5.0)? I tune my own cars(with guidance from trusted experts) and learning this new car is exciting, but also comes with a whole new set of obstacles to overcome.
Thanks in advance
Do you offer the disabling of the clutch protection strategy if you're tuning the car?
