ok guys I got a d15b/lx tranny in a 95 hatch. Orginally I put a exedy stock clutch in and didnt necessarily follow the break in procedures. I took it out and beat on it a lil within the first 15 miles ( i did smell the clutch a lil bit) but after that took it easy for 500 miles. It worked fine and once I put a 50 shot on it, it still did good. Every once and a while it seemed like it would be slipping and Id get off it and everything would be fine. Eventuallly the tranny got stuck in 5th so I got a used one to throw on there.

Once I put the new tranny in I decided to run a 75 shot. It slipped first time so I returned to a 50 shot and still got slipping. So I didnt spray and it still slipped. So I said **** it and bought a new f1 clutch (u can say cheap clutch but Im not buying it unless just this one clutch is bad), fidenza flywheel, and f1 pressure plate. When I took the old exedy clutch out it looked fine (maybe a lil heat spots) on the flywheel side but on the pressure plate side it look and felt like a tire. It was rubbery feeling but still kinda hard like those hard rubber bushings. I put 750 super easy miles on the new six puck f1 and then started spraying. It worked fine for the first few times but then once i put it on the interstate (had 3 people) it started slippin again. Now even all motor it will slip...on a six puck clutch!! Do u think its the tranny? Iv never seen or really heard of this..help me out please. Im going to take this one out on sunday probably

maby your putting in the wrong clutch and maby you should stay away from nos, use a act heavy duty clutch, it can handle the beating and its made to be slipped off the line so get that done and enjoy, btw heat spots are bad dude they are the reason for the sliping

Not really hot spots...there is the picture u decide. How do u know i have a nos kit? it could be zex or nitrous express. Nos is a reputable company made by holley. Dont think its the clutch but thanks for ur opinion

oil contamination from a leaky rear main or tranny input shaft?

put the new stuff in and stay away from the nitrous. or either keep spraying and keep burning through clutches. your call.

Oh im sorry I didnt realize u couldnt use nitrous for a 50% increase in power. I thought buying a clutch to handle 273lb of torque would cover the measly 170lb Im currently putting out.

Cynical is right, just found a leak coming from the flywheel cover. My question now is do I have to take the crank out the replace the seal? r the z6 seals the same as the d15b? How to I change the seal on the input shaft? Do I have to pop the casing?

huh, im sorry you stated the rear main was good on last inspection and that you stated your problems came after you started spraying for motor, maybe you should be more clear in diagnosing problems if the rear main went from good to bad in less ~1000 miles.

yep pretty much so u have any decent input? like about the seals or tranny casing
