Please help with brand new slipping clutch!!!

I replaced my old clutch because it was slipping horribly only to find that it was in fine condition. I also resurfaced the flywheel thinking that may have been the problem. Well i put everything back together and I'm still having horrible slippage issues. No smoke, no smell, just hellish slipping. No drivetrain noises/leaks to point at the culprit. I have been driving around a broke 10 second Evo for almost 2 months now. It's really starting to get at me when other evos roll up on me and i have to just keep driving like a turdhole and try to scream out my window to them that my car is broke while they're trying to run me. please help me. please.

when you replace your clutch you should replace the pressure plate also....the clutch is was transfers the power from the crank to the transmission and if you pressure plate can't apply enough pressure to your clutch its going to slip...that would be my guess its your pressure plate

Well I'll give it a shot but I doubt that is the culprit only because that's something that would deteriorate not just up and go like mine did.

Well of course I purchased a new pressure plate with the clutch disc assembly so that is also out of the question.

adjust the pedal if clutch flywheel is new, also if you resurfaced the flywheel did they step it properly there should be a step i believe in the flywheel

Both good suggestions... All I know about the flywheel resurfacing is that they took .0010 of an inch off.

Evo flywheels are flat, Only AWD DSMs have a stepped flywheel. The FWD dosnt even have a step. So that should be ruled out.

What kind of clutch are you running now and previously? Is it a high PP single disc?
