my clutch isnt even a year old yet, and it slips going into second and fourth at high rpm, like 7200. its on a d16y8 with i/h/e and stage 2 cam and valve springs. its an oem replacement clutch. could this be anything besides the clutch sucks?

 

Maybe or could be simply worn out. How many hard shifts do you do on it and are you shifting correctly are two other questions. Also could be dirt or some other residue on your flywheel.

 

it really depends on how hard you drive, and what kind of clutch. A worn clutch will start slipping in the higher gears in the power band.

 

its a daikin/exedy stock replacement. i mean i am a spirited driver but not some nutcase racing through the streets. yes it has been on the drag strip a few times, but i dont think it would already be worn.

 

thats weird, I have the same clutch, and it has been on my car for almost 2 years. I dont drive crazy, never been to the strip, but its slipped before at AutoX and stuff. Still works great for me.

 

its weird it grabs like a **** down shifting into thrid at 75 mph which puts it a few hundred below redline and then shifting up into 4th at 72-7300ish it slips...wtf

 

it can grab fine in a lower gear and then slip in a higher gear. Good sign that its time for a new clutch. Drive easy on it till you get a new one.

 

expletive it, i wish i could win the lottery

so it couldnt be anything else?

come on now, its not that expensive. I think I got that same clutch on ebay for like $75, and installed it myself. No need to gamble your piggy bank away.

I am not saying it couldnt be anything else, but it sure sounds like a worn clutch the way you describe it.

 

it kinda sux it wore out so quick. a year isnt very long. i know its not expensive but i have an exhaust to fix too. and i just replaced the ehader because something broke off inside it, and a new 02 sensor

 

your right, a year isnt very long. Maybe your more "spirited" than you thought

 

how difficult is it to check the flywheel for dirt as the other guy said? just to be sure?

 

dirt or residue on your flywheel? That sounds a little silly to me. I doubt much would be able to stay between the clutch and flywheel and cause slippage. And if it wasnt happening before, why now? I am staying with worn clutch. I guess pulling the tranny off and looking would tell you whats up.

 

grrr,, damn issues all popping up at once, i guess when i get my ISB replaced ill have em check the clutch

Holy ****, your paying someone to do that? That will put a dent in the wallet. How much are you getting it done for, if you dont mind me asking. I dont remember what I was quoted, but it was an insane amount that inspired me to bust open my tranny for the first time and do it myself.

 

havent got a quote yet, but i need it done

 

i have a 99civic iwth a D16Y8 engine, has 114,000 miles on the clutch and it doesnt slip at all.

yeah, the way i drive it will last a long time. i get on it a lot but the way i shift(even when getting on the gas) u cant really tell at all that i shifted at all when sitting in the car, its pretty smooth

 

did you replace the pressure plate too when you did your clutch? did you break it in properly?

 

yes i replaced release bearing clutch plate and pressure plate and broke it in for 500 miles

 

check your fluid in the resivoir...if it is low check the boot around your slave cylinder if you slide it of and it leaks oil its your slave and thats your problem....if not check inside the car under the dash if you see fluid leaking there, then its your clutch master...good luck

 

did you resurface your flywheel when you put in the new clutch?
