Re: Clutch burnt up after 4k miles?!?!
I bought a Pro Clutch when my Civic was N/A. It slipped under stock power if you shifted hard. I took it out and compared it to the new clutch I got from Mike and the pressure plate was clearly machined wrong. I put in Mike's clutch and it never slipped again.

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?

Re: Clutch burnt up after 4k miles?!?!
did u properly break in the clutch?? i have to go with oil maybe, or a glazed disk...your prollly gonna end up havin to take the clutch out AGAIN but if i were you..i'd go wit a more popular clutch next time..exedy, clutch masters etc.
