clutch problem?
My clutch had been slipping for a while, when ever I hit boost I would hear this loud whine and the clutch would slip. I just finished replacing it today, with a valeo clutch kit with the lighter flywheel. I took it for a test drive and its still slipping and I still hear the whine. The only time it won't slip is when I gun it. Its not slipping as much as before but I still hear that whine. Does anyone have any idea why its still slipping or what thatt whine is from? I will try and get a video on here as soon as I can.

Did you replace it yourself? How did your old clutch disc look? When I replaced mine about 2.5 weeks ago the old clutch disk was getting to the point where the rivets were hitting the flywheel/pressure plate (it would slip under full throttle in 4th/5th gears). Also, did you look over your slave cylinder for abnormalities?

Yes, I replaced it my self I took manual trans this year so I did it in class. Other than the boot popping out on me the slave cylinder was fine I was able to slide the boot back in. My old clutch disc was worn down all the way te the rivets. Mine used to slip in all gears when ever I hit boost.

When I pulled the trans out, and the flywheel everything was dry. No signs of leak anywhere. Im going to take it easy for a while maybe 500 miles see if it needs to be broken in or something. Ill try to get a vid of the whine soon. Other than that i cant think of anything of why it would still slip, I mean im pretty sure i dont have that much horsepower on the car.

uneducatedly, i blame the pressure plate, or flywheel.
mostly because the pressure plate issues tend to come up rather often when i hear anything about our clutch.
normally i with other cars, i see "u need a new clutch" with our cars i tend to see "my pressure plate shattered" but maybe its just warped?
