2.0 twincam sierra with a 2.0 pinto 5 speed gearbox with a 1.8 cvh flywheel
I put a clutch in it and it was ok for a while then begun slipping under hard acceleration

I got a 2nd hand clutch of a friend with good bite left on it and fitted it yesterday
I fitted it then jumped in pulled the clutch pedal upwards and pumped it to reset the thrust bearing then took it a drive but it is still the same story

Was the old clutch plate ok? maybe a stretched clutch cable or weak pressure plate

Might be the pressure plate because I don't get a biting point until the pedal is nearly out. Would this be correct?

what about crank seal leaking ? oil on flywheel

but a high bitting point is never good

clyde 1800

The clutch removed the put the new one in didn't have a high biting point though. Completely baffled

It could only be pressure plate or cable

I actually put the engine in onto the gearbox instead of removing the box. When I was putting the engine in I bent one of the fingers on the pressure plate but I realised I'd done this and immediately bent I back before I fitted the engine
