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.

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.

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.
