Hi all,

I just got a jim berry full monty clutch installed, the problem is that my clutch is still slipping, what could cause this? The previous clutch was still ok supposedly with plenty of meat still left on it but my throwout bearing was seized, hence the clutch change, previous clutch was an exedy 5 puck. When I was still driving on the old clutch the throwout bearing karked it ( started squeeling), then about 100km later the clutch started slipping, the throwout makes a squeeling noise. I thought the clutch was worn out but it isnt, what causes a clutch to slip if it still has meat on it?

The workshop also machined the flywheel and bled the clutch system. I took the car to a reputable workshop in canberra so I am a bit worried that they dont know the answer. They said they would ring jim tonight to see what he thinks. So my question is why would a brand new clutch slip?????

My car is a 96 R33 gts-t

Apexi PFC

Apexi 100m thick fmic

split dump and 3 inch

13 psi

HKS mushroom pod

cusco 2 way

hks coilovers

Thanks for your help people, Matt.

also you got a std flwheel? or an aftermarket one like the follwing:

note the holes drilled around the middle to lighten it. weight should be taken from the outside, lighten it like the following and the holes will work as a vacuum against the rear main seal.

ask the installer if he lubed the input shaft with grease, or graphite. he shoulda used graphite caus if the grease gets on the clutch face/s they will slip.

Jim's full monty's come with a new clutch plate and pressure plate. I doubt it's the components that are to blame at this point. More likely the install (lube on the clutch plate), type of flywheel chosen (as mentioned above) or a leaky rear main oil seal.

agreed... when i spoke to jim - he practically guaranteed his full monty WILL NOT slip.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
