Subject:      Clutch question - new clutch slipping
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have a new clutch with >1500mi on it, and it slips.

It is a busdepot sachs kit (new T/O bearing, etc) and I had the flywheel re-machined.

I have been VERY gentle to it since I got it in. It started after a 600 mi trip to AZ, and only slips maybe one out of 10 times.

Bentley says it may be due to oil on the disc - how would this happen? I have a little seepage in the engine, but not much. I did have a fairly violent coolant leak that was fixed a few weeks ago, but the coolant should just evaporate off the surface...

Since I had a 3rd party install it, I am kinda hesitant to call in warranty on either side....

I shoulda done the repairs meself... tia
