So my cltuch has been slipping quite a bit lately, in 3rd, 4th, and 5th mostly. But if the clutch is cold it wont slip, and also if its cold you can even pull the ebrake while stoped, put it in 1st gear and drop the clutch it will hold and bog down the car until it stalls. Once it warms up it starts slipping though. My mechainc told me that its probably glazed over and that if I just take it easy on it for a week or so it will wear off the glazing and everything should return to normal. Is this true or is my clutch screwed for good and I should get a new one put in?

Mine was doing the same thing, first mech said it was fine but i did not agree so i took it back to his boss and he said it was slipping. I got it replaced with a HD exedy cerematalic. maybe you could be rough with it for a week to see how it goes. Dont ride it, just pop it and keep the revs low when taking off.

it sounds like ur clutch is stuffed or the flywheel needs machining. the flywheel gets low spots in it after a while, therefore creating less contact and it gets hot and glazes up both the clutch and flywheel. all that needs to be done is have about .2mm skimmed off the flywheel. i do them all the time at work, any engineering shop or auto shop will have it done for you.

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.
