Possible To Un-glaze A Clutch?

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.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
