my clutch is gone?

**JeanFran** · 8-4-04, 0:49

I have a new clutch since 8-9 month.. I made it replaced when I bought the car.

Today it started slipping very badly. in every gear.. even if i'm like in third gear at 2500rpm, if I step on the gaz it slowly move and the rpm bang to like 5000 very fast. it does that in every gear..

Anyone know if it can be caused by a lack of fluid or something like that?

Because I rarely abused that clutch.... !!

wut clutch is it and how many miles you have on it, did you break it in

**JeanFran** · 8-4-04, 1:06

It's the OEM clutch.. I have 10 000 miles on IT.. and I didn't do any breakage stuff.. the mechanics guy tells me it wasn't necessary

that might of been your problem, not breakin in the clutch and it probably didnt seet right against the flywheel. Did you get your flywheel resurfaced?(somebody correct me if im worng) i just got a spec stage 1 and had to break it into like 550miles

Yes, you must resurface the flywheel and break in the clutch at about 500 miles.

**JeanFran** · 8-4-04, 8:37

Yes, the flyweel was resurfaced, so that's not the problem..

Transmission fluid has nothing to do with the holding capability of the clutch.

Unfortunately, diagnosing and/or correcting the problem is going to require removal of the transmission (aka alot of labour).

This is a pretty radical solution to remove the transmission.. i'M gonna ask my garage if there is anything under warranty.. I called them and they tell me to check the clutch fluid but it's fine. I need to recall them at 7PM to speak with the good person :|

I would be looking for a new garage if they told you to check the clutch fluid

And no, it's not a radical solution. If you want to inspect the clutch or its components for damage, the transmission has to come off. Simple as that.

Don't forget to check your blinker fluid and muffler bearings!

LOL

the mechanics also told me it may be the cylinder ...

**Malicious** · 8-4-04, 10:58

Yes, it probably is assuming the clutch was installed and broken in properly.

The slave cylinder may not be applying full pressure to the release fork if its broken.

umm...why is this in the F/I forum?

**JeanFran** · 8-9-04, 14:50

I know it's in the Wrong forum sorry I clicked the wrong link...

I have some bad news, the mechanics removed the transmission and they tell me the lining is out.. it's broken.. the clutch themsell isn't worn at all it's like new. They tell me I may have missed a gear, like going at 120km/h and put it in second .. WTF, i'venever done that. So they don't want to pay for the repair.... It's going to cost me 160 for the clutch and 260 time + 30 flyweel..
