installed nismo slave and clutch burnt out next day

[evrae205b]

Well as it says i had my nismo slave cylinder installed. the Car drove fine on the way home that night. However today i went out and clutch started slipping immediatly so i headed back for my shop. But the problem progressively (sp) got worse to the point that the clutch barely gripped at all.
Car is now crippled and clutch never slipped before the slave cylinder was installed.
my driving was not of any abusive manner over those 2 hours except for a lil speeding ill admit to on the interstate.

A lil speeding past 100mph? It might be a coincidence that it went out right after replacing the slave cylinder. Try having someone push the clutch while you keep an eye on the slave cylinder to make sure it is coming back all the way. The only way I see the slave cylinder causing a bad clutch is if when you let go of the clutch pedal, slave does not fully come back which would then cause the pressure plate to grab the friction disk half ass like. Kinda like how it would hurt your hand to stop a spinning bicycle tire gripping it half assed as opposed to stopping it in an instant. Sorry if I got carried away... :boink:

naw i was doing around 75-80mph but your right it could be a coincidence how ever it doesnt explain how it happened so quickly.

Was it properly bled?
as far as i know. i didnt do the install. now wish i did. just too cold to do work right now.

apparently the new slave cyl just quickly finished off a already worn down clutch.

^ yea but he said it wasnt slipping at all. And if theres a problem with my car, its never too cold, or too anything else. Itd kill me not to be able to get under there. Just take it to an oil change place or something, and let em put it in the air, take a peak yoursefl.

some kinda adjustment they made caused the clutch system to syick and it just reacted like the clutch burnt out. the first clutch that did burn out was just a bad coincedent
