Clutch slipping

[Street Faze]

I have an ACT 2900 that i've put about 4k on, stock flywheel...I pulled the motor and trans, and put it in another shell. NOW, it slips. I replaced pedal assembly and i also replaced the ACT with a stock clutch...Nothing has changed. So, i have no idea what to do....Tranny shifts fine, just dont know what to try next.........Any ideas any one?

Did you also swap the clutch slave and master cylinders over to the new car? If it didn't happen before and now it does, its either worn out or you have to look at what has changed. Hope this helps.

I'm originally from Massillon by the way. Noticed you were in Canton.

Well I tried that, nothing...i guess flywheel even though I dont see what could of changed,maybe the ACT got to after awhile???.....thanks for the reply StarFawkes

Sounds like your flywheel step is wrong.

Got the flywheel resurfaced....I'm still in the same boat....guess ill shoot for a new clutch

When they resurfaced it did they just cut the friction surface or did they do the step also? Did you measure the step when it was done. Just because it was resurfaced doesn't mean that it was done properly.

I had them do the step as well...610 is what I told them..I have no way to check...its the same as before

OK so I took it for a drive. It pulls most of 3rd and up. When I was in 2nd and got on it. It spun the front tires????I swapped t case, didn't change anything ... rearend maybe?

1st gear can't go over 2k...2nd goes maybe to 3k before it slips...3rd-5k+...

If just the front tires are spinning than your center diff is probably trashed. Are you sure that you aren't just spinning tires instead of the clutch slipping?

Think so ### 1st gear it just revs after 2k. The higher the gear the better it is. It pulls good in 3rd

If it is happening in 1st gear but not 3rd than it isn't the clutch. You have a tire spinning somewhere. If the clutch is slipping than it will be more likely to slip when in a higher gear than a lower gear.

Broken rear axle? Sometimes it's hard to see because they can break a little inside the housing.

Maybe a junk rear end? If its junk, its not putting a load on....something. and its just free spinning? Stage 2 shep ...is it 70 to the back 30 to front?

IF there was anything that bad in the rear end it would already be locked up. I would be willing to bet that your shep trans still has a 2 spider center diff in it. Jack the car up and check all the axles for damage, if you don't find a bad axle than it is likely a bad center diff.
