I was just curious as to know if nasty black clutch fluid can cause a slipping clutch, or air in the system?

Air? No. Contamination? Improper break in? Yes. I think it says as much on the installation instructions/box cover.

What makes you think the clutch is slipping?

B_Swapped93

I'm assuming you just replaced a clutch ? did you do the rear main seal ?

EgHatchy96

Nopeeee, rear main seal is leaking real bad & I fucked up by buying a real cheap clutch.. F1 Racing. Shoulda gone with Exedy. But yeah, I didn't replace my rear main & it's leaking real bad..

Man......you could have just sent that money to me :/......

Former User

Why did you replace the clutch and not the rear main if you knew it was leaking badly?

And what do you consider symptoms of a slipping clutch?

EgHatchy96

Well the delay between shifting & it the engine climbing rpm's but not putting down any forward power I guess I would say.. & at the time I didn't have access to a parts store, it was late at night & I was in a shop.

In his last thread he claimed he was broke.
What the OP is describing kinda DOESN'T sound like a slipping clutch.
Trust me, you'll know when a clutch is actually slipping. It feels like the ground is sliding beneath your feet.

I'm 16 without a job, **** yeah I'm "broke." Being an auto enthusiast isn't exactly a cheap habit. What would you call it then? It's basically burning out your clutch. The closest thing I could compare it to would be a new young driver learning how to drive stick & riding the clutch about halfway down while at half throttle. Basically revving up & putting down ZERO power.

I don't think you would know a burning clutch if it caught fire, based on your experience.

Money all down the drain now. In any case you'll have to remove the transmission and fix everything anyway for the second time. Now you have learned why you stay patient and save money to do it right. Now you're probably going to have to buy another clutch as well as the repair parts you should have replaced in the first place.

Don't have money? Get a paper route, summer job slinging burgers, bagging groceries, restocking shelves, unloading trucks, SOMETHING. Being an expensive hobby doesn't mean you cheap out. That's why it's EXPENSIVE.

Job searching everyday. Live in a county with 30% unemployment rate, the struggle. I'd take a job at McDonalds.. If they ever would need people here. It's hard to even get a fast food job here.

Not really our issue is it?
If you don't have money to repair your car properly then maybe you should invest in a scooter.

You really have some smart *** comments in the bank, haha.
