new clutch and flywheel now slipping?

[NeMiZiS]

I just got my new clutch and Findanza Aluminum flywheel installed on my 90 tsi.
New parts installed flywheel,clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder, stainless clutch line.
It started up just fine and it will drive, but if I give it any more than just a little gas the engine just rev's up and it makes a noise.
I bleed the clutch line a couple of more times and it is still doing it.
I'm thinking I might need a extended slave cylinder rod.
Not really sure what do to at this point.
Looking for suggestions and what may be wrong?
Thanks!

With a newly installed clutch, it is more than likely that it needs to be properly adjusted. Have you done this?

Do you mean on the pedal it self?
I'm not sure how to do that.

 

[razrman8]

Yes, the pedal. If you look on the back of the clutch pedal, you will see a rod at the top of the pedal. On this rod there is a nut that you can loosen that allows you to adjust you engagement of your clutch. If you loosen the nut and adjust the rod out your engagement point will be higher. Vice versa for the opposite direction. This could take quite a few times to got dialed in just the way you want it. There's a fine line between engagement and slipping.

Ok I will have to adjust it and see what happens.
Thanks for the help.
I will post back tomorrow, I've been working on the Talon since 9 this morning and I'm done for today.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Trust me. Good luck with the adjusting.

Yeah i had the same issue just adjust it. Try not to drive too much with it slipping you dont wanna damage that new clutch setup. Mine would hold good til i hit boost then it would rev freely. Goodluck i kept a pair of pliers with me for about a week to get it just right.

Well I adjusted the rod, but it only moved a little and now it doesn't seem to want to spin any more.
The clutch is engaging a little higher off the floor now, but it is still slipping.
Right before I changed the clutch/flywheel, my slave cylinder started leaking and it was replaced.
I read that after the slave fails, it usually does equal damage to the master cylinder.
I'm going to replace the master cylinder now, they are cheap and it seems like I should replace it anyway.
Any tips on installing the new master cylinder?
That might make it easier to align everything?
Thanks for the help y'all.

Typically if the master is failing then you cannot get the clutch to disengage. Not the other way arround. Here watch this video.

I've seen that video a long time ago!
But I guess I had forgotten about it, makes a lot of sense.
I'll try and do some more adjusting to the rod.
Hopefully I can get it to move again.
