No. No it does not. Even if the clamping force is as such to where it will engage the driveline doesn't mean it will not slip once torque from the engine is applied, if that's what you mean by the way of "... good..."

Actually I think you mean slave cylinder. Perhaps auto correct? Anyway, there really isn't anything to the hydraulics of your clutch. What does the pedal feel like when you try and disengage the clutch? Do you see any fluid anywhere on the outside around the master or slave cylinder? Did the clutch reservoir ever run dry?

sounds like you need to fix your hydraulic issues to allow the clutch to function properly

what kind of car do you have?

***** is correct bleeding a new slave and master cylinder can be a PIA...you should have bench blead the slave and master cylinder first and after that tedious bleading of the clutch fluid

it feels pretty tight just for some reason it wont catch..i was thinking maybe the clutch and flywheel aint no good cause thats the only thing i havent changed..cause at first the car was running good and out of no where i couldnt change gear into i pumped the pedal then it would change gear and sometimes i would have to pop it out of gear so i guess i burned the clutch.
i put these type of holes check this link http://www.americanmuscle.com/mcleod...010&adtype=pla
