Fitted a new clutch...drove 1 mile and came back and took it straight back out again....slipping like a Mo-Fo![]()
Did you try to adjust the pedal before you did that?

^This.
Yup, done many gto clutches including using this same brand of clutch. Every one I've fitted before is spot on with no break in required and able to take full boost from the word go.
This one slipped at waste gate. Came back and checked pedal adjustment, made sure slave was ok and fork was returning fine. Suspected faulty clutch so ripped it out. Everything looks absolutely spot on so I'm guessing I was abit hasty and should have done a few more miles lol
There is ALWAYS break in required.
Went to replace the 3SX oil pan with an appropriate OEM pan, amongst a variety of other issues: found evidence of water in the oil. Rebuild has about 5 minutes run time on it. Not sure where it could've come from beyond a blown head gasket. Looks like I'll be pulling the heads and checking flatness again, as well as for signs of improper sealing. Hope that they are still good as they've already been milled once, not sure how much more I could do.
Mods: 2g 3k body conversion, 2g Brake upgrade, Rota P45R rims
Projects: Interior sound deadening, 14Bs, forged bottom end, custom radiator and sound mounts
Drove the '92 another 1100 miles this weekend to pick up a replacement hood. Sweet.
Converting to Open Dumps with V-Banded Tial wategates and also V-Bands on the O2 housings and downpipe. I fabbed it all up, welded it all with back purging and just sent it all (headers, O2 housings) out for ceramic coating in Flat Black. The dunps themselves will be fabbed-up once the engine is back in the car with them going all the way down and sweeping. I'm thinking of having the Turbo's powder coated in the Anodized Red, same as my valve covers and all my Intercooler pipes in Transparent Black Chrome. Hope to get her back on the road real soon, been too long.
