Clutch burnt up after 4k miles?!?!
 

Alright, so I've had my 89 hf for about 10k miles. about 5,000 have been boosted. When I was first turbo'ed I had a exedy street clutch that didn't last for long. After that I had a xtd stage 3 clutch and flywheel put in. The clutch should be able to hold 273 tq and 300 hp. I am not close to either of those with 7 psi on a d15.

This week I was driving on the freeway and I put it at about 1/2 throttle in fifth and the clutch slipped. I thought it was weird, but i ignored it and kept driving. It's just gotten worse and worse, and now It's getting pretty bad. It feels like a typical clutch going out.. but i have no clue how the hell a 300 hp clutch that should last at least 10k miles is going out on me?! I have been very nice to this clutch and haven't even done a single burnout on it. What else could be causing this?

did you replace your throw out bearing?

Re: Clutch burnt up after 4k miles?!?!
 

maybe... main oil seal went and you got oil on the flywheel/clutch. Just a thought... maybe. Do you have the flywheel plate covering? How about... the fact thats its an XTD? I dunno man. Sounds fishy.

is it a sold dist or sprung cuzz a buddy of mine put in a three puck solid disk and installed it backwards and she burned up NA in like 500 miles of so so driving. just a thought other then that other ideas would be the oil seal and also Cheap clutch kit.

throwout bearing was replaced, main seal was replaced with the clutch, flywheel cover is on, and it's sprung so it's facing the right way.

try messing with the clutch cable after breaking should be adjusted.

i've messed with the cable. it hasn't helped

bump it up.. i really don't want to replace my clutch

Re: Clutch burnt up after 4k miles?!?!
 

i have that clutch and haven't had any problems. 7 months 10-12 lbs boost.
maybe the disc is glazed. or some grease/oil got on the disc somehow. last thing i can think of is clutch not fully engaged when clutch pedal released. but you said you adjusted the cable.

ya, I've messed with the cable... tomorrow i'll take off the tranny cover and see if any oil is up in there.
