CLUTCH SLIPPING......1 MINUTE IT IS FINE THE NEXT IT SLIPPED THEN THE CAR COOLED OFF AND IS PERFECTLY NORMAL................ IS IT POSSIBLE TO BOIL THE FLUID IN THE SLAVE CYL. AND CAUSE IT TO SLIP?????CLUTCH IS IN GOOD SHAPE JUST INSTALLED

I HAVE 4-1 HEADER ITS ABOUT 2-3'' AWAY FROM THE SLAVE.....ANSWERS WILL BE REPPED......I'M PUZZLED

 

What type of fluid have you used? did you just use like a dot1 or something fluid? or did you use like a Dot3 synthetic for the higher heat? Did you bleed the system again when you put in the new clutch or not? there may be an air pocket too

 

did you resurface the flywheel?
what type of clutch?

 

your header is not the problem i have a rmf narrow and it almost hits it
do you have oil or something on your flywheel and what are the miles on it ?

 

Clutch Has Been Installed For A Week! Stage 2 Clutch,act Lightened Flywheel! Motor Was Just Rebuilt So I Know There Is No Oil On The Flywheel.. It Has Less Then 150 Miles On Motor,clutch!!!!!!!!!!!when It Started To Slip The Pedal Got Rock Hard.........

 

U All Have Been Rep'd!!!!!

 

I've only delt with hydro trannys, mine would slip off and on... found out there were air pockets from when we pulled the thing out. Get some clutch fluid, and bleed it. Hope you figure it out.

 

sounds like it may be a heat issue like you thought. try bleeding the entire system and replacing with a higher grade of fluid, my choice would be Castrol GTLMA

 

Can't be the slave cylinder, if the slave or fluid were bad, the clutch would catch instead of slip. The slave is basically "dead" until fluid pressure is applied, in theory, you could drive the car with no fluid in the slave system, you just would have a hard time starting and stopping.

Sounds to me like you either have some oil on the clutch disc or the pressure plate has issues.

 

or the fork is not installed properly. but its def not a master/slave/fluid issue.
