yep i have gone approx. 390 miles out of the 500 now and today i accidently, well kinda on purpose... , stepped on the gas a little to hard and boosted to 10 psi for maybe 1 second and what happened.... it SLIPPED!
a brand new act2100 slipped... now wtf is it just because its not fully broken in! or is this a problem that should not be happening... its slipped twice since i have gotten it installed but both times were at higher acceleration trying to change lanes in traffic... i stay below the 0 on the boost gauge at almost all times except very rare instances where i need to get up and go before i miss my turn and i need to merge etc... but VERY often... is this slipping something i should worry about or is it just slipping at higher acceleration because it has not fully seated itself just yet?

I dont think it should be slipping. If it starts slipping during the break in period then most likely it will slip through out all of its life. I might be wrong but new clutches never slipped on me...

 

[conceyted]

shit shit shit! i really dont want to have to go through another 1000 bucks for a new f'ing clutch job!!!!!

does it slip in higher gears like 5th when u boost?

 

[conceyted]

well it was never in 5th gear slipping... i make sure to keep me boost at -10 or under in 5th

both times it has slipped i was in 3rd gear and was only accellerating quickly to merge into traffic... and both were at 10+ psi.. also both happened while its still in break in period...

my old cllutch (stock one) slipped in 3rd gear sometimes then it slowly got worse and worse and slipped in every gear eventually... thats why im worried

Where is your friction point ? You should have 1/2 an inch of slop at the top of your clutch. Do you ? It is a posobility that it could have been instaled correctly but just not adjusted. a new clutch in our cars HAS to be ajusted i learned this when installing mine. i had the opposite problem, i couldn't get into gears cause the fork was not pushing hard enough unajusted. the adjustment is right there at the pedel and not to hard to do. If you have no slop on the top of your clutch your fork may not be relesing all the way causeing your clutch disc not to be making full contact.

oh by the way mine never sliped and i boosted quite a bit before my break in period was over

 

[conceyted]

i have about 1/2 inch of play yes... i dont know what else it could be... i can only pray that once break in period is over and i step on it that it will hold and not slip! if it does i will be PISSED... im sure it has some type of 3 month warranty... i have had it for only 3 weeks now...

 

[conceyted]

anyone else think this sounds strange?

i had a friend get a new clutch in his car and he completely ignored the break in period on a gt probe. it never slippped and its still running strong.

It SHOULD NOT be slipping that easily

$1000 for a clutch install? That must be with the new parts included. I'd take it back ASAP to place that installed it for you. Did a dealer do the install? Did you replace your flywheel as well? If not, was your flywheel in spec after it was resurfaced?

yes i got the full act 2100 kit and the dealer installed it... cost me overall about 700-800... after install and parts

so i should take it back you think?

Hell yes!! And don't let them tell you it's normal for it to slip the first 500 miles or some shit like that

 

[conceyted]

well what if they say its the part? that means i need to spend another 300 for the clutch and another 500 for install?

inform the dealer they must have installed it incorrectly because its slipping now when you changed lanes as you stated before. stick to your guns. you may have to get nasty with them. start out nice though. it's their fault not yours.
