Just wondering how much power an OEM clutch can hold? I put in a new clutch from lordco in about 500km ago when i rebuilt my motor and It wasnt the cheaper one either and looked good quality.
Now i did *NOT* get the flywheel resurfaced, it looked very good so i just sanded it lightly and brake cleaned it, and cleaned the clutch and flywheel surfaces as well.
But last night i just noticed that the clutch would slip when under hard acceleration but wasnt quite sure. Then tonight as I grabbed 2nd on a steep hill, it was slipping from about 2300-4600rpm.... it seemed like i was spinning out since the engine wouldnt rev up too easily, but then the clutch would catch up and grab and be normal. It only does this in 2nd when accelerating wit a tad more gas than i would need.
My engine is just getting broken in still so i havnt really drove it hard till tonight but Id say i maybe get 140rwhp.

The clutch feel and engages great besides that.
Maybe a bleed job again? Or do i face a slipping clutch till buy a marlin for months?
Anybody had with problem before

 

I just had my clutch and flywheel done. I bought both from the mechanics and just had them install an OME replacement. My old clutch/flywheel didn't slip, but felt weak and didn't engage until i was almost off the clutch pedal. I think it did slip once or twice but only for an instant. I was always told, if you replace a clutch or flywheel then you have to replace it's counterpart aswell. Even the thought of re-surfacing a flywheel would seem like it would just be weaker in the long run and cause more problems. Just like brake rotors. I found some good deals on autopartswarehouse.com, thats where I got my brake pads and rotors. And if you're stuck with a question they have online assistants 24/7.

 

autopartswarehouse.com screwed me over on a deal and i fought them and they fluffed me off. bastards.

anyways, i put in a new oem clutch and after about 3000k it started to slip. i didnt resurface but i did sand it up a little (the flywheel). i bled and adjust but after awhile it started to slip again. i almost dropped the tranny to see whats up but i followed my gut and put in a new slave and master cylinder and havnt had a problem since.
