$1000 dollars and new clutch later...still slipping in 5th


So, my GSR hit 14k miles, and when i would pull in 5th from 50-60pmh, i smelled clutch, and it slipped, as in, the revs would go up but not accelerate, then feel like traction control was kicking in, or stumbling on itself.

Got the clutch replaced, it was worn, and somebody had put an aftermarket disc in with the factory plate and left bolts out of the mounts, etc, etc, did a **** job. Put in a new clutch (Exedy STage 1HD), resurfaced flywheel. Hit the freeway, 5th gear, and it did the exact same thing.

Ran codes, and it has ACD trouble code stored, but i figured that may be a result of the clutch install since i still needed to have the ACD re-bled at the dealer.

Anybody got a guess??

Did you or the shop check to make sure the rear main seal on the motor was ok? There has been at least 1 case were there was a defect in the seal causing oil to spill on the clutch.

There was no sign of oil on the clutch. I dropped it off at the dealership, and they just called me cuz they thought it felt like a misfire at the high boost load in 5th (confused, it's running Cobb Stage 2 w/exactly what they recommend). Then, they noticed that my fuel injectors had been swapped at one point in time (only for a few days, didn't work out good, put stock back in), so I don't know what they are going to do. If it's not the clutch, and everything else checks out, I'll have to do, well i dunno what.

I think I must need to run the Cobb LWG maps, must be overboosting. I told the dealer just check out the clutch install, bleed the ACD and I'll take it from there.

Ninja Edit: Dealer just called, when they went to pull the plugs, one of them actually broke off, leaving the threaded part in the head. Those are brand new Brisk plugs, they are going to give them back to me and throw the NGK's back in there, they said it looks like the plug just sheered off.
