clutch issues
OK i just put a new clutch in my gsx and it strating to slip,, I have bleed the clutch 4 times now to make sure there is no air in it, that didnt fix the problem, i adjusted the clutch down and after diving it for a while the clutch wont fully disengage and i can barely shit it. So i adjust it out a lil bit it feels great, after driving it for a while it loses its adjustment again and will start slipping again. I just cant find a happy medium with the adjustment.. Any ideas would be great. Fly wheel was resurfaced and is in good condition,and im using a borg warner performer clutch equal to the act 2600

The flywheel may have just been resurfaced on the contact part, make sure the step btwn the contact surface and pp mounting surface are within spec.

I have always used a fidanza flywheel. The last thing you want is a stock flywheel blowing up on you, unfortunitally it seems to happen often. Nothing like having a sfi flywheel and whenever you replace your disk just replacing the replacable fidanza surface also. It's about $50 and it's almost as good as new. Plus the weight reduction from the flywheel just made it an easy decision for me. Best $250 I ever spent on the car IMO.

there is and never will be a case of air in the line causing the clutch to slip , if anything pressure wise is causing it to slip it is with the master being out of adjustment , you should try turning the adjustment screw all the way in the back it out till there is just alittle slack left in the shaft then see how it goes , other than that if everything with the clutch is fine "because you say it is all new or reworked" than it cound be the master not releasing all the way , is this problem with it slipping inconsistant or constant???
