Yep , its slipping the God Damn clutch AGAIN...... , after all my previous clutch problems I aquired a slightly used OS clutch , I had to resurface it , the machinist only taking off .002" though . I bought brand new discs and plates for it , installed everything and now it slipping when I am in second gear from about 6000k rpm (when the bridges get pumpin) and still at only 10psi of boost !!!! and rich a/f ratioc ( i have to retune after the '044 installations). Seems like I wo'nt ever get to tune to 20 +psi of boost. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

you must be making some yummie power

which unit? 400u ?

How tight did you torque the bolts which hold in the plates? I believe the tighter they are, the more they hold.

There aren't any bolts to hold in the plates , the plates go between the discs and they are all fit into the "cage" , the pressure plate is then bolted on using the supplied allen bolts, no space is left everything goes together very tightly.

Which unit are you using and whats your estimated power?

Which OS is it? the B type or the C type? measure the discs as well, they should be around 4.3mm new.

Slip a twin??? whoa!!!! kool https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

Just a thought.

Was the slave cylinder hard to reinstall? Some times with these clutches, the angle of the clutch fork is changed. I had to cut a 1/4 inch off the slave cylinder rod to compensate for this angle change. You should be able to reach down and move the clutch fork by hand. If there is no movement then try shortening the slave cylinder rod.

Its a BDS2 , I trhink the discs are 205mm (the smaller of the two choices).

The rod I got is adjustable , I had to adjust it right out to get complete disengagement , maybe its extended too far out ? , I have a worsening clutch master / slave cylinder problem , so maybe I had to put in the extra adjustment to compensate for that , I'll check it out.

i have a new master if you need it

How much ?

pmmd you

Turns out that I had the actuating rod on the clutch slave cylinder adjusted too far out so the clutch was slightly depressed . After looking I found that there is a big leak on the master cylinder so there wasn't complete disegagement when the pedal was depressed , making me keep moving the adjustment out until it was at max.I did find it strange since it came off another 3rd gen but it wasnt working on mine.

So I readjusted it and there is no slippage anymore , I also have to replace both clutch cylinders. Thanks guys (sleeper7) for all the help .

That's good to hear. I was going to be AMAZED if you were slipping a twin plate with anything less than 600 lb/ft. of torque and some SERIOUS rwhp. Glad to hear that things worked out for you though. Keep us posted when you finally get tuned to 20psi. Laterz.

Good to hear you figured it out.

Good job guys!!!! It's lunch time!!!lol
