Did you break in the clutch properly? Was the flywheel resurfaced? Was the clutch bled, and pedal height adjusted? Did the clutch come from eBay? ---

Exact same as my friends. Ive been talking to lucas, and he says it only slips in 3rd and 4th. which leads me to beleive its a pedal adjustment. If a clutch is going to go it usually slips in all the gears. and especially 1st and 2nd in my experience ---

I went through a tank of gas before beating on it and by beating i mean shifting at around 5000 rpm…i really dont think i did anything to it like that. ---

should be _atleast_ 500km stop and go traffic, not revving hard or higher than 3-4000rpm. highways should be avoided. ---

Can someone explain to me why revving a clutch out before its worn in isnt a good idea? I agree not shifting it at 5K but once the clutch is engaged then I really dont see what the difference between 3K and 6K is. Same goes for highway…Ive never heard of having to avoid it. What on earth would cause it to go bad when the clutch is rarely used on the highway. ---

It can glaze the clutch which can lead to slipping. ---

Another wierd thing about this is when the car is warmed and driven for a while it slips…but at first driving it its fine…i just dont get it …the cars going to another shop on wensday for other things and im going to get them to look at the trannny make sure everything is ok …if it is the clutch that sucks for me …im not really into another 600$ for a clutch and install but nothing elese to do really. ---

check your slave cylinder and master cylinder? and is there any “Slop” in the pedal, meaning u can press it down an "1 or so before it actually catches? its easy to adjust your clutch pedal height, get on your back and look at te connecting rod that goes to the back of the actual clutch pedal to the master cylinder. there are 2 bolts, as u turn one, u will notice the rod get closer to the pedal. then turn the other nut closer to the firewall to lock it in place, this will eliminate any pedal slop. if u dont get my right up, it is a little sketchy, pm me and i will see if i can scan in the FSM page that will explain it better. really easy to do, get on your back and take a look at the clutch pedal and i think u can figure it out. good luck, double check your fluid level too, u can do this by looking under the shift boot and secondary rubber boot, make sure u see fluid!

I think I know exactly whats going on… Im feeling your crank seal is leaky and its leaking onto the clutch making it slip… when it slips for a bit like u say… it heats up and burns off the oil leaving dry clutch… until the next time u clutch it where there is place for the oil to fall… Not breaking it in properly shouldn’t make it slip like that… ---

I took it back to them today and asked about all these things…in like 20 minutes im going there and they are going to adjust the pedal more they said …i asked them aobut any leacks they said if any seals were leacking that it would drip on the ground also when i start the car and drive its fine doesnt slip at all …after about 20 minutes of driving it slips. so i dont see how the clutch can be bad…if if works at first but then slips… i think the one guy i was dealing with just had enough of the car…the guy there today was better… just letting you all know… keep ideas coming when i get back ill see if the pedal adjustment worked… i am determined to get to the bottom of the problem i hope soon… ---
