clutch slip

[rnoswal]

Just a couple more suggestions. Replace the rear main oil seal while you are there and definately replace the input shaft bearing. Replace the seal on the front and rear on the gear box too. Make sure the spring wires that hold the throw out bearing stay on during the installation. Check to see if the clutch slave cylinder has any wetness around the rubber cover.


Clean everything. Inside the bell housing and outside the transmission. Check to see if you need to replace the plastic cup on the end of the shifter. If there is none, there should be.

Let us know.

i had a clutch job done to my old acura, they didnt replace the rear main seal, well i picked the car up in texas and headed for L.A. I lost fifth gear in the middle of new mexico limped it home( all the way to oregon) on fourth gear.
by the time i get home my brand new clutch starts to slip...come to find out after the clutch job, the guys at the shop didn't fill the tranny back up with oil, and the heat from me driving it with no oil all the way home in fourth fried the rear main seal and leaked oil in the clutch housing ....i cant believe i didnt check the tranny it would have saved me alot of cussing at the sun ...but hey you live and you learn
