new clutch slipping?
Hi Huys I fitted a new clutch a few weeks ago, but I think its slipping in boost. Im only running 12psi so its obviously not too much power thats causing it. IS there any adjusting or something that I can do to help prevent this? Thanks in advance fro suggestions!

It's torque that kills clutches. At 12psi, unless you have a good breathing 1.9 or 2l, you shouldn't be slipping a std clutch. A flywheels skim is a must.

slipping clutch
most likely rear cranckshaft oil seal, oil most likely contaminating the clutch hence the slipping. I always have my flywheel skimmed and have a new oil seal fitted when i do a clutch.
