Clutch slipping!

[zachdeagle16]

After installing a new oem clutch, it seems to slips alot it's not real bad when i launch but when i try to take off up a steep hill or incline it slips like hell. Any ideas?

It could be a couple of things. First, it is an OEM clutch which was only meant to handle the factory HP specs and not much more, and if your making more power this could cause you to slip, especially if you're launching your car.

Did you adjust the clutch pedal engagement at all? When i installed a new clutch on mine i forgot to do this and the car would bearly move because the clutch pedal was pushing the slave cylinder rod halfway in without me even touching the pedal. So, you might want to adjust the cluch pedal a little bit.

Lastly, when you say OEM do you mean as in OEM from the dealer, or a cheapy one from autozone. When i first put my car together i used a cheap "OEM" clutch from autozone that slipped like hell. Your next clutch should definately be something that applies more pressure to the clutch disc.

Hope this helps
