Exclamation CLUTCH PROBLEMS please read and shed light on subject

ok as some of you know i have had major clutch problems...

here is my orginal post about this on going problemi finally got my car running. i put in a new act clutch like i had last year and a fidnaza lighten flywheel.
when i get into boost in second, third, or fourth gear the clutch just lets go and the revs take off.
i bled the clutch 3 times now and still the same thing.

everything is tourqed to factory specs like it should be.)

so, long story short. i took everyones advise on things to do with this problem.
up to date here is a list of everything i have done...
new slave cylinder
bled clutch at least 50 times(no joke)
check all lines and fittings
fluid is topped off and good
LAST NIGHT(1-7-07) i pulled the trans and found out the clutch fork wasnt even hooked up! neat!

so, now im back to step one again. can will drive down the road but its like the clutch is slipping out under high rpm's. as soon as i get into about mid range of the gear the rpm's take off like crazy. i inspected the clutch and flywheel when i had the trans out last night and all that is perfect. i dont have any fluid leaks or loose fitting, also there isnt any oil leaking from the rear main seal.
i looked up the ft lbs. of torque specs for the ACT clutch i have and its 362 ft lbs... unless adding 264 cams and a port and polish can add 150 ft lbs of torque then i know i am just fine with that.


so any help or info would be greatly apreciated. my car hasnt seen the road in working condition in over 14 months now.
Thanks in advance

Jay

do you still have the clutch damper if so rip that **** out and check the master cylinder for leaks sometimes itll leak and lose pressure.

what does the fly wheel look like. maybe another cut will help it. maybe something with the throw out bearing.

is there a leak from the master, also the slave could be bad. but that really wouldnt make the clutch slip.

HAS TO BE ONE OF THESE 4

DEFECTIVE DISK/PP

OIL LEAK FROM MAIN SEAL ONTO CLUTCH

OR

BAD MASTER CYLINDER/NEEDS BLEEDING



GOOD LUCK
