i just installed my CM stage 2 clutch.. rated for 450hp 365trq .. my car made 263whp 235wtrq.. yet still this clutch does not hold up.. if i ease into the gears they hold.. but once i go WOT it slips badly... now lets say i installed it bad somehow.. what could be the causes of this? i'm trying to find out if im at fault or the clutch was faulty. the clutch kit was type S specific, and it went into my EP3.

Damn sorry no one jumped in and tried to help ya out on this over two weeks.

If you did not let it brake in for 500 miles or so, as you are supposed to if not you will make that $700 investment go to shit.
If you did then its most likely install error, or worst come to worst you got a bad apple outta Clutch Masters.

Yeah, my bet would be improper break-in. Supposed to drive it normal for ~500-1000 miles, like 617 said, so that the thing has a chance to get warmed up, so to speak. Then, you get to romp on it. :mbiggrin:

nah the clutch is shot.. i ordered a competition stage 4 disk and ima resurface a type s flywheel and the pressure place should still be okay to use. i think it was just bad springs and shit in the clutch.. im thinking i shoulda done the spacer on the pedal but iono ill do it this time and see what works out.. thanks tho guys
