My clutch slips when I drive for a while in warm/ hot weather. Car runs perfect in the morning, but once it heats up, then the clutch starts slipping. Any reason for this?? I'm running OEM Exedy clutch with lightweight Fidanza flywheel

 

Time to replace the clutch would be my best guess...mine did the same thing when it was getting worn...

 

how old is the clutch? Miles?

 

I would say no more than 20k miles

 

are you sure its when it warm/hot weather vs a warm/hot motor. i had this problem....til i figured out what it was. after 20k it shouldn't be doing this. did you change your seal at all or even look at it if you changed your clutch yourself. the problem i had was that my seal leaked and once the motor got hot, the oil got thinner and hotter which allowed it to bypass the main seal and on get to my clutch disk.

 

That could be. I was thinking you might have the clutch pedal too tight. This would prevent the clutch master cylinder from relieving pressure when the pedal is all the way out. If that makes sense.

 

So, all I need to do is to replace the seal, right??

 

depends on the condition of your clutch. If you've been slipping for a long time, it's probably pretty burnt up

don't know. you have to break it down to find out the exact cause. but with 20k on it, the seal is my guess. my clutch went out with 60 miles on it but it was due to my seal. some replace clutch at 80k+. but thats because the clutch is worn. your driving habits has a factor in that part.
