Clutch slipping on fresh swap

[FredK]

Well, since you machined the flywheel and got a new clutch kit, I'd wait until some clutch material transfers and "seasons" both friction surfaces before I start pulling everything apart.

Pilot bearing?

[Thrizzle]

New s52 pilot bearing. The clutch is broken in yes, it's got 10k on it. It's the same clutch I was using before the swap, and it worked great then.

I guess I'll drive it for a while and see if it starts grabbing better.

Thanks for the help!

If I didn't clean off the wd40 of the flywheel well enough, will it eventually get burnt off? Or will it saturate the clutch disc and ruin it?

[andrewm]

It wont burn off easily. Oil will seep into the disc material and ruin it over time. Is a light film worth taking it all apart now? I dont know. Are you sure your clutch disk isnt backwards?

[Thrizzle]

Yea clutch disc is installed the right way around.

I'm getting a light chatter when clutch is fully engaged, thinking it's the tob rubbing the pressure plate, which would disengage the clutch a little bit. Thought I had a perfect bleed but I'll try again.

Were your hands clean when you installed the disk? Any grease on the disk could potentially help it slip.

I took care to put my fingers on the disc as little as possible. But disc contamination is about all I can come up with right now. I'm gonna drive it a little more see if I can wear it in some, if not I'll replace it.
