New Exedy Clutch Slipping? 2 miles

[98mitsubishigst]

This is for my 95 Talon AWD i just bought, TOB was trashed..

I bought the Exedy clutch kit

Exedy Pressure Plate
Clutch
OEM TOB
OEM FORK
OEM pivot
OEM pressure plate

the car wouldn't engage, adjusted the master and it finally let me engage.. Took it for a ride, shifted into 2nd gear.. and gave it gas.. boosted, shifted into 3rd gear.
Stopped into a gas station.

Turned around to head back. And went into 2nd gear and RPMS shoot straight up and car barely moves.. My clutch is slipping right?

Do you think the Master just needs adjusted?

Was there suppose to be a break-in period for this clutch? I know most require that.

Bro, i can't even get the clutch to move out of 1st gear. Like i physically can't drive the car, i hit 1,500 rpms and its shoots to redline. It physically will barely move. in 1st gear if i stay at 1500 it'll go up super slowly.

Did you properly bleed your clutch system after install? Have you checked that your master or slave, or even both don't need replaced?

If i remember right, there is a thread here somewhere about adjusting the pivot and fork after a new install to avoid problems like this also. I'll see if i can find it, if not maybe someone else will chime in with it.

 

[98mitsubishigst]

Both master and slave are new. and bled and idk about adjusted properly or not. i can't figure out whats perfect.

Adjust the rod on the master. It connects to the pedal. Play with it a bit until you get it right. I had a similar issue that left me stranded. My advice keep a pair of pliers handy.

I have an exedy stage 2 and it took some messing around to get it right. Did you replace the flywheel? If not did you get your stocker machined to the proper step?

If you didn't follow the breaking period of stop and go traffic engagement then you could very well have toasted your clutch by boosting.

Organic composition clutches are a few hundred miles while kevlar and ceramic are practically no break ins.

Did you not replace the flywheel or get it measured and machined? Which pressure plate are you using, you have both the Exedy and OEM listed.

My clutch had a break in period of 500 miles before they recommended it be driven hard. They also had in the paper work right out of the box disclaiming that if a new flywheel or your old one isn't machined before installation that any and all warranty is by here out void. Hopefully its something simple you may have forgotten to due like tighten the clutch line in to the master cylinder.

Double check your fluid levels
Make sure all the lines are properly tightened down and torqued of required
Check the rod that comes out of the master. It most likely needs adjusted since you said this part was replaced. The nut that is on it is a 10mm kind of a pain to reach since its up under the dash but it's reachable with a wrench to break loose then you can loosen it with your fingers, once the clutch engaged where you like it, secure the nut back.

If he is giving gas and its slipping, it's generally not an adjustment or fluid issue, those would fall under nor being able to get into gear/grinding.

You either have the adjustment rod out too far on the master rod on the pedal assembly, contaminated the disk/flywheel with oil, overextended the fingers on the pressure plate and they are now bent, or improper step height on the flywheel.

Adjustment should be followed exactly as the video shows first. If that doesn't solve the problem, pull the trans and check the other possibilities. Good luck.

 

[98mitsubishigst]

You all aren't understanding. this "break" in period means nothing right now. I LITERALLY have 2 miles probably 1 mile on it. and boosting i mean i got like 3 pounds of boost in 2nd gear and shifted at 3k rpms. Now i can't get over 1.5k rpms without it slipping.

Ohh...You didnt say how much you boosted it. I suppose we all assumed that ''boosted'' meant WOT boost. Thats hardly boosting it. ^I would say you have some adjustments to be made. The jacks youtube vidsare very helpful as stated above. Get it adjusted properly and then we'll go from there.

I helped with this issue as well...The pedal is adjusted almost all the way out, thats the only way we got it to move. It has been bled, and was working fine when i worked on it.

 

[Colt4G63 also]

Can you push the clutch fork back against the slave cylinder by hand? If not, your pedal is still adjusted too tightly.

 

[pauleyman]

Not likely but make sure the axles are seated also.

 

[T is for TURBO]

Scroll down to the "Proper Clutch Adjustment" video and watch it. Mine slipped terribly until I followed this instruction.

You still havnt mentioned what you did with your flywheel. If you just slapped the new clutch on without doing anything to your flywheel that is where your problem lies. Your flywheel hasnt been machined with proper step and basically your disc and pressure plate are not grabbing properly. It absolutly has to have a good surface to mate to, Replace your flywheel with a lightweight and ensure it has the proper step required or your stock flywheel machined with the proper step and your problem will likely go away...after you re adjust everything that is...

So what kind of clutch is it?

 

[98mitsubishigst]

I bought the exedy clutch Oem replacement, Oem flywheel, exedy pressure plate .. I can't push my clutch fork into the slave.. It's to hard

 

[pauleyman]

This is likely your problem. Adjust the master little by little back into the bracket until you can push the slave in easily. If you do this and then the clutch doesn't disengage then likely you have a fork, pivot or flywheel step problem. If it were a 1g I would say pedal problem but not on a 2g. Did you check the flywheel step height? The only way to be sure is to put a depth micrometer on it and verify. I never leave the machine shop until they show it to me and it's what I wanted. Do NOT trust the guys that say they just removed equal amounts from the surface and the steps. Do it right or do it twice.

Loosen the rod on the master. It is too tight. Make absolute sure that there is a little free play at the top. What is happening is that the master isn't releasing all the pressure because the piston isn't returning all the way. This is pretty common 2g's if they aren't adjusted properly.

 

[98mitsubishigst]

what do you mean by "Free Play at the top" ? Like you mean adjust it by how much "throw" the pedal gets? like how much you push the pedal down by??

 

[97gst_spyder]

Just turn the damn master arm to the left a few turns and try it... If you read all the posts in this thread and think about what there telling and asking you then answering them this could have been fixed by now..
