ex transmission problem
 

so about 12,000 miles ago i replaced a clutch that had "massive" failure. now it is beginning to slip again. WTF could possibly be the problem now? the clutch has under 12,000 miles on it.

Re: ex transmission problem
 

What do youmean by massive failure. Did the old clutch have oil on in? The rear main seal might be leaking causing the clutch disk to glaze really bad.

did u replace the clutch disc or the disc and pressure plate?

Re: ex transmission problem
 

clutch disc, pressure plate and T/O bearing...all replaced.

massive failure=sprung clutch plate - one spring

I was thinking about replacing the trans this time i pull it off, too. so a Y8 trans works on a Z6 motor? is it worth doing?

Re: ex transmission problem
 

now.....wait.

let me ask.....how do you drive?

slow like your name?

or like you stole it everyday of your life?

Clutch life depends dearly on your driving style too. You can burn out a clutch in less then 12k miles. :y

i drive this bitch like theres no tomarrow :D i still expected it to last longer then 12,000 on a damn near stock NON-turbo motor. especially since the last one made it to 180,000

now we can go to

"who installed it?" Flywheel resurfacing counts on the life of a clutch. Most clutch kit companies will only warranty if you can show proof that the flywheel was resurfaced.
