Gear Oil on clutch~SLIPPAGE!!

[boostyGST]

I noticed that around the dust sheild around the tranny and coming out around the dust boot around the slave cylinder there are small droplets of gear oil from the tranny. So I took the boot off and stuck my finger up in the bell housing to see if there was a substantial amount of gear oil on the inside. Came to find that there is a light film, with a combination of normal clutch disc dust. I went ahead and checked the fluid level of the tranny when the car was completely level, considering SBR was the last people to fill the tranny and not me. No fluid came out of check hole and I went ahead and drained a very small amount anyway just to make sure. The reason i did this is because I heard that if the tranny is overfilled, it can blow out around the output shaft seal. Well I recently had to drive approx 200 miles and on the way home I noticed that my clutch is beginning to slip when getting up to boost around 3500 rpms. Considering this is a NEW clucth and the same gear oil saturation happening to my old stocker clutch, i am pretty concerned.

Now comes the part where you guys have to help me out. What I am going to do is this. Considering that when i filled the tranny when i first put the clutch in a while back and did not have this issue. I am going to completley drain the tranny, then refill, see if there is to much fluid in there. The reason behind this is because SBR was working on the tranny recently and filled it up last and who knows. Then I am going to spray some disc brake shoe degreaser up there, used on big rigs, considering it may help get rid of that oil residue on the clutch. I am going to access the clutch the best i can from where the dust boot goes on.

What I need is opinions and maybe other helpful hints, tips, tricks and full out methods to fix the issue.

What kind of clutch do you have (not listed on profile)? How many miles do you have on it?
Did you get your flywheel resurfaced when the new clutch was installed? If ACT Clutch was the flywheel resurfaced with the correct "step"?

I had similar issues on one of my old trannies which was caused by a failing xfer-case output shaft seal. New seal, no leaks. Unfortunately you have to pull the tranny to get to it.

I would not suggest hosing the inside with caustic chemicals as the clutch fork pivot ball needs to have grease and saturating the disk with more contaminants will likely worsen things. You'll also have a cocktail of caustic sludge in your case no matter how much you spray.

Bottom line, drop the tranny and clean it proper
