    Clutch PROBLEM..NEED HELP

    I have a M50nv with a zf320 trans, DMF, LuK clutch and pressure plate. My clutch is not gripping to the flywheel! The car barely moves on its own power.

    I have the flywheel resurfaced and the clutch and pressure plate are brand new.

    1 week ago I had a slave cylinder explode inside the bellhousing and leak all over the place. Can this cause the clutch to be contaminated so much that it won't engage?

    Also, I replaced the input, out put, and selector seals.

    Please let me know what you think?

    Oil soaked clutch can cause this, also having the flywheel resurfaced with the wrong step can cause issues.

      Contaminated clutches should be tossed out right?

        Guess what!?! The pressure plate that I had was off another model. Auto Heaven figured it out and I drove the car today :)
