help!!!!im about to set my car on fire!!!
« on: July 26, 2014, 09:41:16 PM »
few months ago i was out tuning my car where my slave cyl took a shit. fast forward to today, i replaced my master and my slave cylinder. now it seems to shift fine (have not done any wot pulls yet) and it instantly smokes the clutch. I had no issues like this before my hydraulic issues. is there anything that could be not adjusted properly or something that could have caused this? it happens under light load or wot. rpms just scream....

turbo l76
01 t56
new gm ls1 slave
new wilwood 7/8 master
ls2 flywheel
ls7 clutch.

please help!!!
thank you!

Any chance that there is too much pressure on the slave due to a mis adjusted rod at the pedal?
I do love what I do!

i doubt it. i started with it all the way screwed in (least amount of pressure) and worked my way out. the clutch was fine before the slave died. ive been doing some reading, and if the slave was leaking (it was) it could have gotten fluid on the clutch and is causing it to slip.
