did you break it in properly? usually when you have a new clutch, its best to stay below 3500rpm and dont do any hard launches for about 500-600 miles. also check to see if you have any fluid in your master cylinder.

Also, did you resurface/have resurfaced your flywheel when you replaced the clutch?

s13boy89 · 07-18-2008, 12:29 PM

resurfacing could be your problem! when you dont resurface the clutch disc doesnt sit flush on the flywheel.

Also, if your clutch is a cheap or organic clutch.... they usually don't last long with abuse.

i adjusted the rod more and it grabs fine now so ill see what happens

you might have a rear main leak. oil leaking onto the clutch plate would cause it to slip. was there oil all around the pivot fork?
