I replaced the clutch on my sol because i thought it was slipping. So I replace my clutch on my d15 del sol and resurfaced the fly wheel and all that . So I have had it on my car on my car for a month and in order for the clutch to engage I needed to take the clutch almost all the way out and when I'm on the highway for a while and downshift to go up a hill it seems to slip and just rev up and I have to let go of the gas so it can engage again . Help on what it could be :/

Bump . Could it be the clutch master cylinder ?

Yes it could be. What clutch are you using?

No it couldn't. Nor could it be the slave cylinder. They only release/disengage the clutch.

If it's slipping it's worn past the service limit, or it's contaminated with oil/grease/transmission fluid etc. I don't suppose you have picture of the clutch you replaced?

I don't know we're it's at at the moment but it still had life and don't see why it would slip.
Well when I replaced it I made sure everything was clean and put the cover back on the transmission . Unless my tranny is going out ?

Now we're jumping to the transmission? If the clutch is slipping then it's the clutch. That is, unless you don't actually know what a slipping clutch actually feels like. I say this because you say it "seems" to slip. Trust me. If your clutch was actually slipping, you'd know it.

Well the clutch is maybe 1000 miles in so I don't see why it would be slipping

There would only be two reasons. Both of them listed in post #4. If you didn't break the clutch in properly you probably glazed it all to hell. Either way you have to pull the transmission to inspect.

what brand clutch did you replace your worn out one with?
