Hey everyone!! I've got a little issue over here with my new clutch. My mechanic installed a stage 2 exedy Kevlar clutch along with a new aluminum flywheel about a month and a half ago..Well it is now worn in and up untill last night it was performing perfectly.. Last night a friend wanted to race me in his rx-8... I destroyed him by atleast 2 length of course :-).. Well afterwards my clutch started slipping throught the gears along with my clutch pedal sticking here and there... I figured I roasted the new clutch :-X... But somehow this morning I woke up to bring it to the shop, and it didn't slip once! Along with no slipping all day today. I checked the clutch fluid wich was full with no signs Of being burnt.. My question is what could have caused last nights slipping??? Overheated fluid..burnt clutch..? and also what should I modify so this dosent happen again? I'm stumped. Thank you for the help guys!!

 

Should get interesting.....

 

Interesting.

 

And there it is..

 

Lol tell me about it.. Any ideas brewing?

 

could have cooked it or the fluid down the line the hose does run right by cats/exhaust. or u could need a pedal adjustment.

 

Makes sense.. Now just for arguements sake.. If I did happen to glaze/burn my clutch, it wouldent just magically work the next day right? Bcz usually once it's gone it's gone for good right?

 

You're ****ed.

 

hhmmmm perplexing

 

I do not address threads with any reference to street racing. Sorry.

 

who said I was street racing? my buddy has a hugeeee abandoned lot he just bought so it was perfect for it.

 

You just going to lie to us son?

 

"Street racing is not a crime"

 

haha yeah yoUr right...**** it i ran that **** right in the street haha

 

if u glazed it its just like brakes the work ok again till they get hot then they say fml.

 

And yoU jUst did

 

stop with gheyness. btw my old factory clutch used to do this when it got too hot but it would bounce back the next few min. just over heated the friction material just like brake pad.

 

Would there possibly be a way to get it to not overheat when it's ran hard like that? Possibly better fluid?

 

sounds like you should consider wrapping your clutch pistons in snake skin to help keep them cool.

 

Can clutches get glazed like break pads do?
