Clutch Problems

I drive a 91 GVR4 with XTD stage 4 clutch. I had some shifting issues and figured it was the clutch or tob. I pulled the trans out and noticed the clutch splines were sheared off (rounded out). So I bought a new ACT 6 puck because XTD didn't want to warranty it. I installed the new disc but forgot the pressure plate torque spec so I put them at 30 ft lbs. Installed everything and went for a test drive. Engagement was about halfway and I was used to it being low. After a block of driving the clutch started slipping bad. Free-revving to 6k rpm like if it was engaged. Even while holding the clutch down it revved high. So I limped it home and adjusted the pedal and bled the clutch line some more and same issue.

Question is... Is it doing this because I over torqued the pressure plate? Or is the XTD pressure plate not compatible with the ACT disc?

Please help, if I can't figure this out then the car will be sold. Tired of taking the damn trans out.

I d try a new pressure plate and that should solve your problem. Its possible that they arent compatable with each other.
