Dunno...but I think have the opposite issue.

When clutch gets really hot and I press the gas with WOT, the motor revs and does not move forward...clutch slips...can't figure out what gives. Clutch was a Kevlar design installaed about 1 month ago. Slave was also replaced. Car is an 02.

Mods are minimum, Headers, CAT back free mods...thats it.

If you installed a new slave it may not be bled properly or you need a shim behind the slave cyl to allow it to release further. It isn't releasing enough.

Update: had them pull it out and check everything. Clutch looked fine, flywheel was sent for inspection and found to be off slightly, apparently equipment machining was not calibrated and mine was one of a few that slipped by during that time.

So far its been better on the street ok, but it still can slip at the track...thinking I might need to upgrade the master next...I already did the drill mod to the factory hydraulic line...

Does anyone know if the one McLeod sells is bigger than stock?? Maybe more fluid flow would help...
