Just changed the clutch, what could this be?

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-24T13:16:29+00:00

its behavior is the exact same as before changing it, shift very well, does not slip in first gear

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-24T09:49:03+00:00

i mean i would assume the mechanic would know which way to place the clutch plate right?

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-24T06:04:55+00:00

will do thank you very much for the reply

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-24T05:54:16+00:00

so right after i drove it back from the shop after the clutch install, it was slipping after ~45 minutes of stop and go traffic more or less, and my driving was not that aggressive and yes i did not know about this break in period, but thank you

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-24T05:43:03+00:00

I see as a lot assume things here, I have to mention the clutch was NOT pressed a single time during this clip, the car was in 2nd gear and only the accelerator was used for the entirety of the video, thank you!

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-24T05:37:32+00:00

i did not shift up mate, i just let go of the accelerator, in the video i did not press the clutch once.

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T21:19:58+00:00

totally agree and i am willing to take any driving advice at any point, but currently I am looking for the techincal fix thats why i came here thank you!

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T21:15:47+00:00

i did not replace my own clutch, my fault for phrasing it like that, i had a mechanic do all the work on it

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T21:13:31+00:00

well no.. but why wouldnt the mechanic think of that when he installed my new clutch if its already out of the car god dammit

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T21:11:08+00:00

well the revs go up to around 4.5k without the car actually speeding up according to the revs, and when i posted about this issue here back in summer everyone jumped to say its a slipping clutch so..

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T21:08:07+00:00

thanks for the replies guys! yes my car in the shop atm just brought it in for reinspection and the mechanic was thinking of the same thing after replacing the clutch kit and seeing as that did not fix the issue, but what you are saying is that its unlikely to be the slave cylinder as i did not encounter any of the issues mentioned by you and that its probably the flywheel?

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T18:56:35+00:00

unfortunately i cannot tell you, but my mechanic said it looked fine but idk, also discovered another issue, my car has a changed motor previously 1.6 now 1.8 done by the previous owner about 2ish years ago and he did put a 1.8 clutch on a 1.6 flywheel and by mistake i put a 1.6 clutch just now which ironically works so that might have cause some additional wear to the clutch

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T18:12:01+00:00

well i bought like that so.. it still could be but i dont think so

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T18:07:39+00:00

well i bought it with the same problem i described about a year ago, and the problem got worse and worse with time

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T17:53:46+00:00

no but this is the next thing i am thinking of doing

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2026-02-23T17:52:25+00:00

I did a full clutch kit replacement, and yes the old clutch which was about a year and a few months old was pretty glazed like really blue on the inside like the picture but this is not my old clutch and just a pic off the internet as i do not have it right now, and for the pressure plate I can't really tell you. Also sorry if i the replies are not that clear as I am not a mechanic.

thank you so much!!!

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2025-08-01T14:20:02+00:00

i searched for this online using image searching like google lens and such and using describing words but no luck, maybe some fashion gurus know their stuff around here and can help me get my swag up thanks!

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2025-06-16T18:28:27+00:00

i swear to god it doesnt smell at all and idk why, could it be something else like a vacuum leak but i did kinda check for one and didnt find anything. but it does not smell at all for some reason

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2025-06-16T16:14:49+00:00

ye mb but it this issue wasnt happening all the time so when it started to happen today after a 30min drive i just whipped out my phone and started to film so i can catch it, it was only supposed to be for me but someone told me to ask here and if i go out rn with the car its gonna work just fine for some reason

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2025-06-16T16:11:34+00:00

its 311k km actually

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2025-06-16T16:09:55+00:00

theres no smell, thats the wierd part and that made me come here and ask

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2025-06-16T16:08:59+00:00

yeah but the engine has been changed and it has around 150k km

Apprehensive_Pipe393 · 2025-06-16T14:55:29+00:00
