Textralia triple no power to the wheels I bought a barely used triple disk(250 miles), new gm slave and a tick master and had my tuner shop install it and now they are not getting any power to the wheels.
It did not come with install instructions, is there anything that we need to be looking for?
Anything you guys can think of please let me know.
Thanks
As you can see the clutch hadnt even been broken in.

Tough to diagnose over the net but your shop should be able to figure this out pretty easily. Did they take the necessary measurements for the air gap between the pp fingers and the slave?

To be honest I couldnt say, when I told them that I had bought a Textralia Exo-skel triple disk they said "huh? Textralia?" but they have worked on all other clutches like Mcleod, Ram...
The pedal has a good feel the engine is not bogged down or anything, when it is in gear there is no engagement at all.

Well Im not familiar with that specific unit but as the clutch wears the fingers will move toward the slave so probably 100k would be ok. I would find out how far the pp needs to be compressed for full disengagement then start mockup and measurement taking. If the stack height is too far from stock I have seen the snout of the slave turned down and fitted for use with a taller than stock stack height. Hope this helps.

So you hit the nail on the head when you stated that it may need to be turned down.
Let this be a lesson to anyone who buys a triple disk "YOU NEED TO HAVE THE SLAVE THAT COMES WITH THE TEX TRIPLE DISK, OR YOU CAN BUY ONE AND MAIL IT TO TEXTRALIA AND THEY CAN MACHINE IT FOR YOU"
Thanks guys for all of the helpful info.
