Does this sound like glazed clutch? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My clutch is probably about 4 months old. its a spec stage 2. the pedal feels like it grabs and everything, it doesnt slip most the time. But it will slip if i like push it from 1st like, it will slip once i put it in 2nd gear if im going fast and sometimes up in 3rd when i put in that gear. Other than times being stepped on. it doesnt slip when its hot or when on daily driving. My flywheel was new when the set up was put on, the pedal still has its feel and its been adjusted down already. Does this sound like a glazed clutch disk? and if it is what kinda of solution is there

short version: clutch only slips speeding going fast shifting 1st to 2nd slips 2nd and sometimes 3rd, pedal feel is good , car has no probably slipping on daily driving or heat.

did you resurface the flywheel when you put the clutch on?

Drive it at 45-55mph in 5th gear and go to WOT. That's one of the tests for a slipping clutch.

The flywheel was a brand new f1 flywheel

And i can drive 45-55 on 5th without it slipping. Its like if i was going to race or drive fast from a dead stop shifting from 1st to 2nd it will start slipping 2nd, and it'll slipp a bit up in 3rd.

how did you break it in? is the stage 2 kevlar? I assume maybe the f1 cromoly flywheel isnt working well with the clutch

that was the other possability, i dont know though i read around ppl not having problems with the flywheel. I think i may of glazed in my early break process when i had the pedal higher but i would think it would hold up more if its a kevlar stage 2. I just want to find a solution to this. What should i love for if i do take it all apart. and if its glazed what can i do
