Just got my clutch installed at king motorsports..
When I step on clutch it seems to soft. Is this right? Its a clutchmaster stage 3,

Well the clutchmaster site says that its soppose to feel 100% like stock.
I think it feels a little softer, not sure? Anyone else with a clutchmaster III can give me a little insight on this?
This is my 1st time clutch install.

I just took my car to the gas station and on my way back my clutch is starting to slip when I change gears. I think I was giving it a little more gas.Not reving high.
Should I take it very easy on the car until 500 mile break in? is this normal?

 

Your clutch should not slip at any time if its new. Are you sure it was slipping or were you ridding the pedal by mistake?

 

Hmm didn't think about that.
I drove i around this morning trying to get foot of clutch pedal faster.
Didn't slip today. I'll keep driving and see.Thanks.

 

yeah the clutch should not be slipping at all and at the same time you should be realtively easy on it the first tank or two. Did you have the flywheel machined when the clutch was done?

 

It was a brand new toda flywheel that was installed with clutch.
Also put in a JDM FD>...

 

what material is the friction disc?

 

flywheel is crome-moly steel . clutch is kevlar on flywheel side and steel on pressure plate.

 

is it a full circle or a puck clutch? if its a circle, did you break it in? well either way, it shouldnt slip, if its hydro, try bleeding out the system

 

think its a clutch and its a usdm trans with jdm fd drive, so not hydro.
Started slipping again today again. What should i do? Should i wait til break in period to see if it gets bettter?

 

maybe its the pressure plate, when i installed mine, it was pretty stiff

 

did you bleed the clutch slave cylinder?

everytime i put in a new clutch i bleed it....try that. it should help.

 

It was bled...
I talk to clutchmasters and said it might slip a little until the fibers settle in the clutch or something.

They said after 500 miles if it still slip then I could send it to them with flywheel to be set correctly.

So I will wait till 500miles.

If its a hydraulic tranny tehn bleed the slave. If its a cable tranny then adjust cable. It shouldn't slip at all.
