What's with my clutch?

[Boosted DSM 32]

I was cheap and unfortunately went with an eBay clutch when I put a new one in and I'm regretting it ever since I bought a xtd stage 3 and the engagement I horrible and you can't launch good with it either... But lately the last few days it has been extremely hard to get it into gear, and sometimes my 3rd and 5th gear will slightly grind when I shift quickly at higher rpms..

Also when I go to shift into 2nd from first at a high rpm its like the gear is blocked out and I cannot get it in without missing the gear then popping it back in the 2nd time? I have a full summer of hard driving on the clutch and about 60 passes at the track on it is it time for a new clutch or is my trans or something messed up? When the clutch was newer the trans shifted perfectly

If it was me i would have never bought something like a clutch from ebay. What you need to do is drop the transmission and replace it. Sounds to me like your syncro's are bad from all that forcing into gear.

i have a stage 3 f1 clutch, xtd stage 4 pressure plate fidenza flywheel

what makes to tink that its the clutch


first of verify if master cylinder is not leaking (happend to me)

change the slave

bleed the system


then ajust the rod under the dash



then see what happend

I've never forced it into gear it just started doing it a few das ago before it gave me problems it shifted fine going into gear and I never missed a gear so I highly doubt it's the syncros come to think of it my master cylinder does go low after a while could that be a problem?

check under the dash for leaks in the same time verify the slave to

you never know

trust me ive been there

blamed it on the clutch it WAS NOT the clutch

remove the robber from under the master and stick your finger in there see if you can feel any liquid

good luck

It's leaking no doubt I have to fill it up a little bit about once a week it still grinds even when it's full tho

my car was doing the same thing , after 3 weeks the slow leak turned into a good squirt.....it turned out to be the slave letting go! Check your hydraulics and good luck yo.

You found the issue. Does not matter if its full or not. Hydralic pressure is bleeding off. That will/is causing ## issue. Not the clutch. Find out what is leaking and replace it. Probly not a bad idea to replace the Master and slave and put in a stainless line in there as well.
