Clutch problems
Hey all, just a question here..I just recently(about a month ago) got my clutch, clutch master, and slave cylinder replaced because the clutch was completely dead along with the other parts, but even with my new clutch, after the engine heats up a little bit the clutch will start to slip. Its getting especially bad now that its nearing summer and the car is usually pretty hot by the time i get in. The flywheel was machined and all so i really dont see what the problem could be. Any suggestions would be great thanks!

try to adjust the clutch pedal. maybe you have it set wrong and its angaging when its not supposed to. or it might be pushed down a little all the time and its slipping the clutch
just a thought.

Yeah i think you need to adjust the clutch pedal or something... maybe bleed? idk... maybe that or you may have oil leaking onto your flywheel... i was reading htis one thing one time about this team that did a desert endurance thing for nissan, and they sprung an oil leak on the flywheel, so it would slip, so like every 25 miles they stopped and cleaned ot off... I would say that may be your culprit

well the thing is, is that it only starts to slip after running about 20 or so km's..When the engine is cold first thing in the morning it runs just fine..Im thinking i might just screw the whole thing and get an sr20 very soon cuz ive just about had it with this ka24 hahah

oh and the mechanic who did the clutch repair said it took him foreeeeeever to bleed that clutch, and also if it was oil leaking onto the flywheel wouldnt it start slipping as soon as i started to drive? Maybe the torque specs are too loose?
Or maybe just maybe, he never replaced the flywheel at all(highly doubtful) but if that was the case, would the clutch even work with a totally worn down flywheel? my flywheel was so worn down the rivets and everything were gone, so i dont think a brand new clutch would even run on the thing.
