normally i would say new pilot bushin and throwout bearing…thats up to oyu since they are new anyway…i mean they are like what 45 bux together…but get a formal diagnosis before comminting to anything… does it slip all the time or only after driving hard for a while…or just after driving normal for a while ---

you broke it. break in is anywhere from 500-1000, I did 850 because then I wanted to race some people. You smoked it immediately… thus making the rest of the break in period useless. You need a new one. ---

Lol, same thing happened to me inthe maximamama after I got a new clutch. On the way home some guy in an RX8 wanted to go, this was when they first came out, I couldnt resist. The clutch was funky for a little, but straightened itself out. Just drive it normal and itll be fine. And for future reference, thats how you know a clutch is going bad, the car will rev up in gear… Good luck ---

even if its already slipping orwhatever its doing? its not too late to “drive it like a grandma” for a 1000 miles and then it will be fine? i mean they will replace whatever for free but im trying to avoiding going back there ---

Just to shed a little light on this situation, This was one of those once in a while jobs that problems seemed to crop up at every step and nothing seemed to go right. I personally did not work on kyle’s car other than for about an hour to finish up after his rear main was installed and to fix a speedo wiring oversight. I am not there every day, but I am familiar with what happened. Mistakes were made, It was unfortunate, and I wish it would not have happened to you, kyle, but I hope that you came away with the realization that the owners tried to make it right. At Your Service is a very succesful shop that specializes in high end european cars. There is no advertising, and the schedule is packed. 99% percent of the customers are very happy with the quality of the work and a lot of effort goes into “getting it right” for the remaining 1%.
