Ok, so I just put in a new clutch with TO bearing about 3 weeks ago, and everything was fine, but last Friday, I started to feel that the car felt weird when I accelerated. I could push the gas pedal, but the RMP would climb normally, but the car would move any faster, I have to let out my clutch really easily or it does that. When I let the clutch out slowly, it doesn't do anything and just picks up speed normally. What can be causing this and how can it be fixed, there are no leaks or anything in my cylinders and the clutch has less than 1000 miles on it. It's an OEM clutch by the way. Thanks :thumbsup

The description is a little confusing but it sounds like the clutch is slipping, and maybe not completely engaged. I would try bleeding clutch system, checkign fluids, and lines, could also be a bad master or slave cylinder.

If not you may have gotten something on your clutch disc and it's not grabbing.

I was gonna suggest master or slave cylinder as well. Wish I could have helped you on the install :(

Remy - I will definately try to make it out to that Nov. 2 meeting. English town is like 30 minutes from me! Yeah man, that install was a bitch. I am just thinking that the fluid in there is pretty old and I didn't change it when I replaced the clutch. I am going to try and bleed it and change the fluid today. This morning I drove the car and it was fine, so It only happens when I take my foot of the clutch really fast...I have been trying to do that restrictor mod, but I can't take that banjo bolt off;(

Get a set of line wrenches(flare-nut wrenches). and you should be able to get any of the lines free. I also suggest an SS line to replace the clutch rubber line.
