Hi all,
Im hoping I can get some feedback on where to start in solving my clutch issue. So my clutch is slipping. In november 2019 coming back from driving my car, leaving a stop light accelerating hard the clutch started slipping and it was making a clicking sound at idle when i got back to the house. I took separated the trans and engine and took a look at the clutch. Everything looked fine. I cleaned it up and put it back together. I followed the clutch pedal adjustment video from jacks transmission and the fork is in the middle of the fork hole. I thought it might be because the clutch wasn't fully releasing the pp and causing the slip but it seems to fully release so not sure it's that. I have a feeling it might be the flywheel step size might be off.
A little background on the car setup. I changed the clutch and resurfaced the flywheel April 2017 and I've driven it fine for 4000 miles until now. The clutch is a act 2600 sprung street disk. The flywheel is a act flywheel. When i replaced the clutch, i took the flywheel to the machine shop and had them resurface to road race engineering spec of .608-.610. I dont remember confirming when i picked it up that it was to spec. Like I said up until now the clutch and drivetrain ran great. I took it easy for the first few hundred miles to break the disk in.
Right now when i slip the clutch it slips and it makes a rattle sound. I'm guessing thats the disk springs rattling from grabbing and slipping repeatedly, but thats just a guess. I don't have a problem removing the trans again, I just want to know what to address before I start replacing parts. Like I said, I'm thinking it might be the flywheel being the wrong step height causing the slippage, but i want to see what else i should consider or look for before i go and buy a new flywheel. Thanks in advance. Pics for reference.
