Hi! I just replaced my clutch not too long ago and it feels like it's slipping. When I shift gears in High RPM the engine revs up before the car beggins to actually move. I read the following diagnostic to test for slippage:
The clutch can also be checked in the service bay by setting the parking brake, chocking the wheels, putting the transmission into high gear and slowly releasing the clutch pedal (make sure nobody is standing in front of the vehicle when you do this!). If the engine stalls immediately, the clutch is not slipping. If the engine continues to run when the clutch pedal is fully released, the clutch is slipping badly and needs repair. If the engine slows, but continues to run, the clutch is slipping.

I did that, I put it on 5th gear, set the parking break and beggan to pull out the pedal. I pulled it almost all the way out before the car died. Did it again, I pulled almost all the way out, left there a bit and it still wouldn't die. The car kept on running barely, it was shacking a lot too. Can anyone gimme any more advice? Everything is new, disc, pressure place, got a flywheel resurfaced, what can it be? Thank you all

 

did you replace your throw-out bearing?

 

Yes. The release bearign was replaced too. It's new. I just went and got it adjusted and bled the clutch. It engages smoothly now but it still seems to slip. I'm going to replace the disc anyways, I'll re-check everything again once it's down.

 

when you pull the clutch out of the car you might be able to look at it and tell if its slipping but im not sure of this

 

How long has it been since you replaced it? Did you alow the clutch to go through heating cycle? You drive it 5-800 miles stop and go traffic like at red lights and such. You can get on the car just dont shift_hard and beat on the tranny. This should help your endevour to get a clutch that last. Be very careful not to be mean or it'll take a **** on you like so.

 

Sorry that word would be crap

 

Mine is doing pretty much the same thing... did u ever figure out the problem?

 

Yeah. I keep on getting "It's the transmission. It's the gears and synchros."

Solution: I'm getting another one.
