New Clutch Fitted

[evil_weevil]

Heya guys,

Just got an exedy 5 puk heavy duty clutch fitted - feels good!

However I've done almost 200kms since being fitted, and gave it a hit in first and it seemed to slip a bit.

It wasnt a major "kick in the guts!"

How long till you guys think you should give it 100%?

When my old clutch was slipping, when coming onto boost in 2nd, 3rd and 4th, it would slip like a mutha!

Now it doesn't do it (although I havent given it 100% throttle) but Im still abit...well...cautious you could say to!

Ive got a skid pan day sunday - just hope she's all good.

Cheers,

Chris

Well i reckon you should keep it easy for the time being since u said it's still slipping. After i changed mine, it took me about 500 odd kms until it feels alright.

500 hey?

cool, looks like I'll jump in the car tonight, tomorrow and saturday and do some driving

cheers,

Chris

It shouldnt really slip at all .... Take it Back and get them to Adjust it .

if its slipping its wearng and probably faster!

I just had installed similar an extreame clutch and the only running in was waiting for it to bed and not be so sharp when grabbing.

Its still a biatch in reverse but it has never slipped .....

[evil_weevil]

Yeah think I might give them a call.

There's no adjustment in a hydraulic clutch

I've thrashed evey clutch I've had from minute one, day one with no issues.

yes there should be no major need to bed in or wear in a clutch. I would give it maybe 1-2 hours of driving (20-80kms) and 2 heat cycles before loading it up too much in 4th and 5th but after that it's as good as it's ever going to get. after 200kms it should be peak, doing 500kms to wear in a clutch is nuts. that's about 10% of it's life!

[evil_weevil]

hmm....ill take for another drive tonight - see how she goes!

any dramas i'll be throwing upper cuts hahahaha

[evil_weevil]

Well, cars going in tomorrow for them to check it out. not happy Jan!

Hopefully its all good for the skid pan sunday
