My clutch is only slipping in low rpm's. It is an ACT 2600, fairly new and i have a full 50-trim setup. Could something be leaking on it causing this? And what could it be? I have an idea, but want to get opinions first. Thanks.
 
sure its possible something could leak there, valve cover, turbo feed line, coolant hoses, but I dunno about a leak causing slipping in low rpms only.
you might want to investigate further.
 
Well today it died. Can;t even make it up a simple incline, plus it is making some clicking noises in the higer rpm's. Tomorrow it will get towed and taken apart.

What other damage could I have done driving on a severely slipping clutch?
 
When something is spilled on clutch, it usually burns up and your clutch with stick. not slip. its probly something with PP.my .02
 
i'm wondering if you had your flywheel resurfaced when you installed the new clutch, if you did there is a chance that the shop did'nt add the right "step" to the flywheel surface, and that will cause the problem you are talking about :(
 
OK well it's getting towed to a real shop tomorrow and it will be taken apart and the damage assessed. I know I need a new clutch. I don;t know what other damage I did driving on a slipping clutch for so long. All I can think of going wrong is the clutch master, the clutch slave, and the flywheel.

What else could I have destroyed?
