Guest mescalinedreamz Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 well my new centerforce1 is slipping, i have high revs but no power to the ground really. So im looking into just buying a plate if need be. gettin on the gas in first and second i have high rpms but no power to the wheels really, not enough to break the tires loose. Which is very odd for this car! It just started happening yesterday after i really gone on the gas for a buddy of mine. So i dont have a whole lot of cash and need to do something about all this. I just bought the car and the hi-po engine has only about 700 miles were guessing. Any chance that driving the car normally might fix things? like take the glaze off if thats what happened? Also i did notice the bottom of the tranny is greasy where the plate sandwhiched between the tranny and engine is. Might be possible that grease got on it. I found an act 6 puk for 100.00 but its just for the disk itself. pressure plate cost 259.00! Im wondering if the act disk will fit into the centerforce pressure plate. If not, i know the options of a 2+2 clutch and flywheel option, but i have no access to a junkyard with a 2+2 flywheel. Or a turbo. I could shell out 200 bucks for a centerforce 2 clutch kit for a maxima 2.4L Engine - from 8/76 to 6/84 since the clutch kits are the same for the coupe. but i really dont want to spend that much. So what would you do if you didnt have a whole lot of cash and need a perf. clutch in your Z. Im running 10:1 with a bunch of mods I have too much power for a stock clutch. What would you do?

Drax240z Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 What was your break-in procedure for the clutch? I've seen some pretty hot L-series engines that survived surprisingly well on a stock replacement clutch, even when abused at the track with a LSD and R-compound tires. Anyway, if you have a oil leak, that would certainly kill your clutch very quickly. If it is just slipping, there is a chance that it will start grabbing again after some normal driving, but you don't know when it will give out again.

Guest mescalinedreamz Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 well, the guy that i bought the car from said the engine is pretty much broken in. So i dogged on it while tuning the haltech. Didnt really think about the clutch going bad so early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
