Cold Morning Clutch Slip

[ConElite]

As some know Im running a Spec S1 clutch. It has about 3-4k on it already and this morning I was going to work, traveled about 5 miles, Stop and go driving. I was in 4th at about 1800 rpms when I stomped on it to pass a Semi and the clutch slips. I let off and slam again and slip!!! Can it be that the Clucth is dog Cr@p or is it that b/c the clutch was not really warmed up and thats why it slipped. I do get Clucth Chatter/pulses on tracking off in normal conditions. When Im aggressive it launches real hard and slam into 2nd and seems like it slips. Can it be the Slave cylinder? (Didnt change it when I changed the clutch) It has 55,000 miles. Can it be that the Slave is not dis-engaging enough?

the clutch should grab no matter what, could be the clutch or could be a lil oil. just blow off the inspection cover and make sure that its dry, if it is, its time for a new one. personally i wouldnt do spec. they ahve alot of problems, i had one and the stock one i replaced it with holds better, doesnt chatter(as much lol) and feels way better

Yeah there is no inspection shield or anything on the LS1, but yeah im pretty sure its going.

not a tin sheild between the bell and oil pan? or is that just on the older SBC?

[ConElite]

no its all solid. The bell is complete. The oil pans on these engines are aluminum.

[Trash man]

oh, yea on my bird it has a tin sheild that runs halfway up the bell housing. ill try to find a picture

[ConElite]

i know what your talking about. Yeah these dont have that. Im guessing in order to make everything stronger
