exedy stage 3 clutch

Post by DasBoost »

I recently installed a stage 3 clutch and pressure plate with 15 pound flywheel and have had a problem with slipping at around 3,700 rpm. Instructions said to allow 750 miles for break in, I think I have around 300-400 miles the clutch. The damn speedo cable must have gotten kinked or something when I swapped engines so I have no way of telling how fast or far I am going. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you properly adjust the clutch pedal? It might not be letting the clutch engage all the way. You should have a small amount of "dead" travel at the top.

The pedal was not adjusted, it felt fine on the first drive. I expected a stiff pedal feel, which it has, but it does have an amount of "dead" travel after the clutch engages.

Also, the slipping happens faster if i push the go pedal down more. If I lightly press the pedal and gradually increase throttle I can get rpm's up to around 5,200 5,500 before it starts t oslip. The car clunks/ shakes also if I try to floor it. I'm about to change the 6 puck to an organic clutch so I can can actually go without the worry of a broken car unless I know this will change once it's broken in.

Did you put the clutch in correctly? If you flipped the disc, it'll bind.

To note, the Exedy 6-puck is junk. ACT or nothin. Unless you want a twin disc. Then the Exedy is good stuff.

The clutch was installed the right way.
