Clutch question
I recently swapped a B18C GSR into my civic. I put in a new clutch and flywheel setup. Now it feels almost like the clutch is slipping. I'm not 100% sure, but it feels like it slips in the higher RPM's. Is this normal during the break in period? TIA.

your not supposed to go over 4k rpm for the first 500 miles on a new clutch, or glazing can occur.
if the rpm goes up, but the car is not going faster, it's slipping, and in my experience that is never a normal occurance.

Re: Clutch question (SpyderZEX)
A good way to find out if it's slipping is to go about 15-20 mph, get in your upper rpm, like 5-6k, and put it in 5th then dump the clutch. If it hangs for a second then it's slipping, if it drops immediately, then it's cool.
