So ive had my FIdanza 3.2 clutch installed for about 5-6k miles, and it has started slip, mainly in the upper gears, 4th and 5th when boost hits. When i first installed the clutch it slipped for awhile until i adjusted the rod on the back of the pedal and also the "pump up" fix rod. Now all of a sudden it is slipping again. Are there anymore things i can do/check to besides taking out the tranny again (took me 3 days to replace the clutch)? When i turn the rod behind the pedal i just use the trial and error method, so i feel like this maybe could be it but im not sure. Any Input?PS Clutch master and slave cylinder were replaced about 15k ago.

So it sounds like from other people that there's no question the clutch is done. How is that possible? Does Fidanza offer a money back warranty? This is pretty frustrating.
 
One more thing, if it is slipping cant i just buy a new friction surface. The pressure plate should be fine, right?
 
I would say to check fidanzas website on engagement issues... when you installed the clutch did you get the flywheel resurfaced? and what else did you replace? I hope its not a normal issue with these clutches because i just ordered a 4.3 from fidanza :0
 
Brand New Flywheel from Fidanza as well. And i adjusted according to that video.
 
I got a question. i re-watched the video. lets say my rod isnt properly adjust, as it may not be "i used the guess technique". if i do properly adjust it, is it possible that my clutch will no longer slip? or once it slips it will always slip and the friction plate is gone?
