No idea man...if you had oil on the clutch, i would think it would continue to slip, but i can't say for sure. Count your blessings you're not dropping the transmission, i'm in the middle of doing that right now...closed up shop for bed, but it's ready to come out as soon as i get home from work tomorrow... thread to follow.

Dave, i haven't been over to C4G in a while, how's the tuning coming along?

 

I'll be looking forward to it Crans! You should be a mod lmao. So much knowledge shared from you. Thanks for not only this post, but any other post you've helped on.

not to be a dick or nothin...but our engine takes 4 1/2 qts....that extra 1/2 q isnt gonna blow ur engine up but just for future reference..

It's cool bro lol, I was just saying no light turned on so the oil pressure switch wasn't an issue, it was just I had to low of an oil pressure which caused the light to go on during mivec!

 

well good thing its fixed now...hope it didn't damage anything internally..(if the engine oil was low u never know if/what happened inside)

 

Yea I was thinking the same thing. I mean she runs well, just hoping. Oh and I'm leaking like, a drop over night. Assuming its normal, although the clutch is slipping again. Yay.

 

If it was a American car id say that's just lubrication hahaha.. I wonder if you have a hydraulic problem.. Try pumping the brakes a couple times and see if it still slips.. I'm thinking the throwout bearing isn't disengaging which is the equivalent to have the clutch pedal pressed slightly.. Do you rest your foot on the clutch pedal?

 

might be a crankshaft seal...that sucks, cause it's a block rebuild

 

You know to be honest, I feel that I did use to, like if I rest my foot barely on it, my Rpms will climb. And how can I do that test with pumping the brakes?

 

there's nothing that would apply pressure on the TOB with the clutch pedal released unless the slave was seized somehow and it was riding the pressure plate, but even then i would think with no pressure applied to the slave, the pressure plate would surely push back...if you didn't have enough pressure, the clutch would not disengage fully, and it would do the opposite of slipping...

 

Crans your defiantly right about that... Forget about pumping the brakes won't do anything.. Do another pull up hill and make sure your foot is not on the clutch pedal.. That's why they put that foot rest there on the left to rest your foot there hahaha

 

No it slips without my foot resting on the clutch, lmao I'm a newbie. But not THAT noobish

And Crans, I'm not sure if you remember the thread I had about my slave boot being jammed, would that really make the clutch not fully engage?
And god is my TOB loud. In first and second, but I've searched around and people have noise TOBs but still. Maybe mine is more severe but I have nothing to compare to. And first standard car

 

how sure are you that it's the TOB? it would rattle or howl at idle, in neutral...

as for a seized slave, i wouls say that's not it, as the pressure plate requires a hydraulic actuator to disengage the clutch, with that amount of force required, it highly unlikely that it would be seized to the point of partial only partial engagement, as disengaging would be as troublesome...

 

I took a chance and only changed the inputshaft bearing because I figured I just put a new clutch and throw out bearing it couldn't have gone out that fast..mine would make a knocking noise it would come and go than it would only go when I pressed the cluth pedal than it had no affect it did it at all times

 

For me if I start it up I let the clutch out, and engaged. I hear a rattle, perhaps grinding sound? And for example if Im driving and I down shift to make a turn, I will hear that sound. I'll look up a video to compare
