Clutch Slipping

**tonic** · 28th April 2013, 05:38 PM

Hi All.

I have had the clutch fully replaced including everything, also had fly machined. I dont do any hard 4x4ing, mainly highway and 1 short Fraser trip about 2500km ago.

I have done less than 5000km and just did small camping trip of around 600km return.

At about 200km from home the clutch started to slip while going up the gears or changing down on hills.

Otherwise it was all good, gears changed and once going no problems.

About half way home it came good, I think?

I have checked the inspection plug for oil, nothing.

Question, if I had a faulty new slave, could the little ram have become lazy going in thus keeping the plates appart longer than required?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with mine (replaced clutch and hydraulics at same time - LT95). The system hadn't been bled properly when adjusted. Once the air had come to the top of the system (bled itself out) the adjustment was out as when the clutch pedal was released the clutch wasn't fully engaged.

Once readjusted it was right as rain.

I would say yes. I had exactly the issue with our Stage 1 where occasionally the clutch would slip. The slave was the very last thing I changed, and it seems to have totally resolved the issue.

Hope it's that simple Pete, calling my guy tomorrow who did the work. I'm in Inglewood blowing up more of Australia all of this week, will miss meeting also.

Bloody thing is 5000km new.

Will check that, but would have thought that would have happened at the beginning? Have done 5000km.
