The engine was recently swapped and i replaced the clutch that was in there with one that I had bought used. I know before you hate me, i did it because the old clutch was way too much for the stock build and thought I could put it in another car.


ANYWAYS, is it possible that the clutch is slipping other than it being worn out? Is it possible that the hydraulics need to be adjusted to apply proper pressure with the pressure plate?

otherwise I'm willing to put the old clutch back on and wanted to know what sort of pitfalls I may run into if I try to replace it myself.

Put the car into gear is effortless, and it doesn't seem like there is a problem until the car warms up.

Make sure the clutch pedal has about 1 1/2" of free play (before you feel any resistance)...
It's possible that somebody adjusted it once the aftermarket clutch was put in!...

sounds good.. I'll check that out first thing I get back from my business trip.

It would only make sense that it's slipping due to too much tension or incorrect adjustment.
