I installed my textralia about 6 months ago.... when i origanlly put it in it was fine and worked great. After about 4 monhts maybe 2000 miles all of a sudden it was hard to get into gear. Reverse and 1st will not go in at all. So i thouight maybe it was bc i didnt do the drill mod. I just did it and still the same. I brought my car to get tuned today and i noticed when we go it on the dyno he would put it into gear and the wheels would start spinning before the cluthc was let out at all. I guess i am goin to pull the trans i was wonderign what to look for yo see if the slave is bad? Also has anyone else has a problem.. the clutch only has 2500 miles on it over $1000 clutch and thats all it last?

check to see if PP bolts are still torqued to spec, they tend to back out

Pump the pedal a few times, real quickly and select the hardest gear, (Reverse) if it goes in with ease, change your master cylinder, re-bleed and you’re clear to go within minutes.

I've seen this a few times and it's generally the master. This isn’t uncommon, particularly with the earlier cars after a few miles.

The backing out of bolts is often found within a few weeks, not months and typically reflects an install issue!

Work from the outside first and diagnose correctly. It will save you money in the long run.

Textralia Technical Support is on a different time line for you fellow’s but the support is always backed up by many good people state side. You can always contact Pete directly via peter@textralia.com.au leave some contact details and he’ll help you out!

My friend had your exact same problem and it wa the PP bolts. He insists the shop put anti seize on the bolts instead of locktite.

i pulled down the trans yesterday and sure enough 3 PP bolts backed out. i put lock tite on them and put it back together and works like a chram. Also pete from textralia called me and went threw everything to look for. Awesome customer service and great guy! Textralia #1 in my book

Would you mind posting what Pete told you as far as putting the PP bolts back in. What did he recommend to do? (from a guy about to install his tex clutch)

They have a list of state-side distributors. Make sure you add the "au" at the end of the web address. If not, you'll be directed to the wrong website.

glad you found your problem....ive had my clutch in for allmost a year now...5k miles and it still feels like unbelievable clutch. i recommend it to everyone. if this one goes, ill put another one in....cant beat the drivebility on day to day driving. my foot loves me more when im stuck in stop and go traffic.

My clutch was real smooth until I about 800 miles a couple of weeks ago. Mine does chatter quite a bit. I had a Spec III before and my Textralia chatters just as much now as my Spec did. Anyone have any suggestions? Part of the reason I bought this clutch from Byunspeed was because of the streetability and claims of no chatter.

you could be running into the PP bolt issue as well....might want to check that and go from there.

My friend dug this up researching a problem for me and I have almost the exact same problem as the guy who posted first. He talked to Jrod and he seems to think its either a bad master cylinder, air in the system, or PP bolts backing off. Just curious as to whether or not there were any others with similar problems like this, thanks!

That sucks you had to pull the trans again, but I'm glad it was a simple fix!
