- Thread starter gunman32
- Start date
I had the car mapped today and it ran about 400bhp at 1.4 bar then the clutch started slipping the guy say it might be the push rod as it had a bit welded on it. the clutch in it had a Ap racing pressure plate
Exedy organic drive plate
and it's only done 500 miles what do you think....

i would change the complete slave cylinder
As above .. if it's been welded in situ then that amount of heat through the cylinder wont have done it any good.
That's what I said in the first place... peace of mind. You can always rebuild the old one and use it as a spare if you want.
It has just occurred to me; you didn't have a bit of metal welded to the old one because the clutch fork is bent did you? There's nothing that can really fix that without taking the box off the engine to replace or repair it. - Hopefully the full story is that's what someone did to fix the old clutch/clutch fork, but they never took it off when they put a new (or re-enforced) one in!?

Don't worry about me; I sound like the prophet of doom, but I'm not really.
I just remember someone on here (it may have been Riske) saying they'd put some wedging between their push rod and the fork because they'd bent the fork.
I bought a new slave cylinder and whacked it mine; it solved the problem (a leaking slave cylinder that wouldn't push the fork)... but all that leaked fluid destroyed the Exedy clutch, and that let go a couple of months later.
