so, I just recieved a G-tech performance meter and I put it in and went to go take my car out for some test runs. I went out to these really long straight back roads that nobody is ever on and gave it 4 or 5 hard runs. but by the third run my brand new-ish spec stage 2 clutch (only 3,000 miles on it!) started slipping in second. and the next run it slipped into 2nd and 3rd. and while I was driving it home it slipped a LOT! and by I mean A LOT!!! like, just cruising in any gear at 25% throttle, just pressing the gas down slightly to, say, 50% throttle and it would slip for a while before catching. could my new clutch really be gone already? I mean, I broke it in 500 miles before pushing it, but I have driven it kinda hard since then. I bought the stage two so I could have something that would hold up to the power I plan on after I turbo, but if it can't even hold up to a near-stock 5sfe's power... anyway, anybody know what spec's warranty is like? I can't seem to find the piece of paper they sent me with the clutch. I'm most scared that even if the clutch is gone and they send me a new one for free that I'm still going to have to pay another $760 labor to get it installed... again!

Not quite sure what could be going on. The only thing I can think of is that some oil might have got on the clutch and it was burning it off. Is your clutch stock or aftermarket?

it is aftermarket. a spec stage 2.

I do have some kind of oil and/or transmission fluid leak. but I have no idea where it's leaking from. anybody know how to locate a leak?



check your distributor seal to see if anything is leaking from there. if that checks out, then there is a good chance that your rear main seal is leaking and causing the problem.
