I just finished with my clutch change about two weeks ago. I went with OTTP's stage 3 which looks like an OEM flywheel paired with an ACT 6 puck disk and a Luk OEM flywheel. Everything went fairly smoothly (besides breaking my steering angle sensor being dumb) and the car was back on the road. I waited about 70 miles before trying to do a 2nd gear pull and it started slipping again. I thought maybe I might need more miles to break it in but it's been almost 150 miles and it still slips when I hit full power. If I just drive around town, it drives fine. Does anybody have any ideas?

typical clutch break in is 500 miles of driving thats not highway use, and that just normal everyday type driving. its also useful to heat cycle the clutch, basicly drive it for a while, then park the car and let it cool off completely.

'at this point, if its slipping its unlikely itll get better. you either have an install problems, a defective pressure plate, or you started beating on it too soon.

Yeah you needed to wait about 500 miles for breakin. normal driving and no wot pulls. you likely glazed the clutch and now it wont hold. you're gonna have to do it again.

did u replace your flywheel? if ur stock clutch was slipping it probably glazed the old flywheel n the clutch cant catch it right

i reread it and saw u changed the flywheel lol did you measure the distance of stock clutch fingers to block and distace of throwout bearing wen its compressed to where it meets the shaft stock vs new clutch flywheel and t.o.b ? my clutch masters 6 puck clutch stuck out 3/16ths of an inch more than the stock clutch and the new t.o.b was 3/16ths of an inch less than stock when fully comporessed so it evened out mayb ur clutch is slightly engaged... idk someone will correct me if im wrong lol

I went close to 500 before getting into boost heavy on my gmpp. Do you have good pedal pressure?

I went 1,000 miles with out any boost and 1,500 before WOT but that was also a motor break in too
