I just installed an Exedy 3-puck clutch and a Fidanza flywheel.

Here's the problem:

When the clutch pedal is completly let off and in first gear or reverse the car moves but it's obvious that the clutch slips a lot. I can let off the clutch quickly and the car won't even jerk or stall.

What do you think is wrong?

A mechanic I know suggested lowering the material where the pressure plate bolts onto the flywheel. He thinks the problem may be that there might be too much distance for the clutch to engage completly.

 

sorry to hear that and im no help but i just put a stage 1 exedy in with fidanza flywheel and i cant be happier... good luck finding out whats up!

 

Is there a possible that the clutch isn't completly engaged due to the clutch slave master cylinder? Meaning the throwoutbearing is always pushing a bit on the clutch?

 

is that how it was immediately after installation or after driving it? It is possible that the face of the disc is glazed. Also, did you resurface teh flywheel when you installed the new clutch?>

 

what do you mean by the disc being glazed?

 

think of it as brake pads... if you put new ones on and go flying around heating them up real hot and dont let them break in they wont last as long/function to its highest capability... also... when you put new pads on an old rotor, it tears the pads up and creats premature wear and shitty stopping..

 

Let me clear this up.

I installed the clutch and NEW flywheel put the car on the floor and the clutch doesnt fully engage. All in all the car has moved 3 feet forward and 3 feet back.

 

Theres the new clutch and new flywheel. Are the diaphragm tips at the correct angle?

 

might be a stupid question but did you bleed the clutch fluid thoroughly?...just a thought

 

I went back to the garage today took off the clutch slave master cylinder so the fork had play. I pulled the handbreak put the car in gear and i turned the car on. It could idle no stalling!!! What could be the problem?
