im not understanding exactly what your trying to say. are you saying that you have just put in a new clutch and flywheel?? if the clutch is new then it most likely just needs to be adjusted. when i put my act 2600 and streetlite flywheel in my gst it would do the same thing. it just needed to be adjusted. just read through the information with the clutch and should tell how to do it. if not then shoot em an email.

where is the fluid you are losing look like it's leaking from?? if it's leaking down the transmission it could be a slave cylinder. the master cylinder shouldnt cause it to slip like that unless it's running out of fluid. then it just would'nt shift. i would look into the slave cylinder.

i would just adjust the master cylinder inside of the cab (get on your back and look up by the clutch pedal) i had mine adjusted with the friction point too far back and when i would step on the gas in 3rd gear at about 2K it would shoot up to 4K and kinda go back and forth slowly to 5K, so i just took out my 12mm wrench and got it adjusted right. as for the leaking fluid problem, where is it at? inside of the car? i would get the master cylinder rebuilt then...
