Well first off i do know that my clutch is slipping but its weird.

I have posted in other forums and every one has told me that the clutch needs to go, and if i needed to run it to keep it run speed and try to run it while the clutch was still cold...


This morning i was forced to drive it first time in a few days since my brother took the other car and i had to get to school. In the morning it felt as if it was going to die on me. I would gas it and it was a no go. But i made it to school a lil late.

After school on my way back it was feeling a lil better im geussing because ut was warm. Closse to my house since there is rarely any cops around i thought i try and just run it had run and down the street. The first 2 or 3 times there was little sliping and after that it ran as it did when the new clutch was put in.

So i really dont know what the problem could be... It runs good under extreme driving but not under the slow driving...

Could any one help me out here?
I know its the clutch, but it was just put in about 3-4 months ago, a looked into it a little more and came up that some oil might have gotten inthere causing it to slip.

Its also a cheap clutch which also makes me believe that it needs nother one, but even so 4 months seems way to early for it to go. The car is only used as a daily. The clutch is a stage 2 racing clutch from XTD.

Help?

did the flywheel get re-surfaced when you did the clutch? If it was glazed, it might be slipping more when cold

it sounds like it is glazed like mark said.
try a few hard slips, let it cool off each time and see if that helps???

the other thing to try is, maybe you adjusted the clutch master pushrod incorrectly? but that usually gets worst after the car ahs been driven for a while...

glazed flywheel, bad clutch, pads could be faling apart or rivits could be comming loose or broke off
