today I took my 90 dx out for a ride after swapping my zc and it feels like my clutch is still slipping. about 5 months ago when I swapped my first zc I got a new exedy clutch on ebay and a different flywheel and a SI tranny, about 2 months later it started to slip.

So I thought i got one of those gay clutches on ebay or my flywheel was bad. I was swapping my zc cause I got a knock from being too lazy to add/change my oil, took it out and the exedy still plenty material left and pplate was barely used, so I was like wtf???

I put in a resurfaced 10lb fly and a slightly used center force dual friction clutch, new throwout and pilot bearings, now its still slipping when I get past like 4k @ full throttle...

is something in my tranny slipping? is my diff going out??

 

these factors may help u out to diagnose the problem:
-adjust freeplay
-no freeplay
-pressure plate springs weak/broken
-overheated disc

there are more that i can list but since u said that u just bought ur clutch i assume that these wouldnt factor in, such as disc badly worn, warped disc or pressure plate.

 

i think I got it adjusted pretty well, but my clutch does seem to be grab at the end of the pedal release stroke

 

does the clutch pedal feel soft when it travels to floor?

 

yes

 

how long ago did u put it in? same thing happened with my Sohc zc, the clutch pedal was soft all the way down BUT it didnt slip. does it slip alot?

 

at WOT it starts slipping at 4k then catches then slips again...
rpm's also go up and down by about 1000 rpms, but I think it is because of the lightened flywheel

means it *might* not be disengaging fully. i would get down to the cable adjuste and make sure that the arm down there has at least 1mm of freeplay.

 

just went out loosened it all the way and readjusted it, its really pouring right now I'll drive it a little later

 

still the same under power the clutch/tranny slips..

anybody?

 

is oil getting in there from the rear main? thats the only other cause i can think of for a slipping clutch.

I doubt its that because this is a diferent engine and flywheel/clutch, and its doing the same thing. Its still the same tranny though, thats why i think its the tranny but not positive...

how do check for that?

 

my tranny doesnt grind when shifting but it did make a hissing or shhh sound when it was in gear

 

ttt

 

any1?

 

sometimes when on tha gas, my rpm go up to like 7k and stay there but my speed keeps climing... i know its not the clutch... can anyone help???
