2 days after i installed a ACT 2600lb pressure plate and 6 puck clutch i was doing some hard launches and now only the rear wheels drive and something in the transmission starts slipping after you drive it a mile or so and it keeps getting worse i know the clutch isnt slipping because when i take off it grabs really hard someone thought it could be the viscous coupling any help would be very appreciated

THANKS
 
You probably broke your center differential.

That's why you don't do hard launches on a 6 puck in a DSM.
 
Would the rear wheels still go if the diff was broken and it drove fine after it was broken for a few days the the slipping started but if it would sit over night the rear wheels would pull fine for a couple of miles the start slipping what would cause that.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

A broken center diff would cause that.

If you keep driving it like that you could burn out your viscous coupling, that's why it feels like it's slipping after a few miles.
