i have a 92 civic hatch wit a gsr swap...it has an act extreme clutch kit and an act lightweight fly wheel...the clutch slips quite a bit when i start off in 1st gear...i was wondering what might be causing this...thank you

ragging your car out maybey? j/k might just be time for a new clutch.

how long have you had the clutch,and how often do you beat on it

corince06

the guy i bought the car off from said the clutch and flywheel were brand new...only 50 miles on it...i havent beaten it yet...i just barely put 1500 miles on it

Im not positive if they have a break in period on them. I have a act 6-puck and heavy duty press. plate and its fine. The light wieght flywheel though will cause you to slip the clutch more to get it going though and you that may be what your experiencing.

is there anything i can do to make it stop or do i need to buy a better flywheel

hotrod99

maybe the guy who installed got grease or oil on the pressure plate and didnt spray it down with brake cleaner...if thats the case it will burn off eventually

go to the stock flywheel. What it is, is when you get a light weight flywheel. Where it doesnt have as much wieght it looses its own inertia and when you let out the clutch it brings the rpms down faster, hince why you slip the clutch more to get it going. Its a common thing with some motors (b16 a lot) when you go to a light wieght flywheel.

thanks a lot man...ill def look into it

i have a Competition Clutch lightweight flywheel and stage5 clutch w/upgraded pp and i never had a problem with it slipping and ive been on the same clutch for 2yrs...i also had to break it in for 500+ miles before beating on it....maybe the guy you bought it from didnt break the clutch in properly

z6hatchboy

Its not a matter of the clutch its self slipping, but im saying the inertia difference can cause the driver to slip it more to get it going. But that may not be the problem here.

corince06

no its the flywheel...i noticed with low rpm starts tonight it didnt slip at all...and it did when i raised the rpms to 2000 or higher.
