clutch feeling slippy

[night_font]

Lol...yeah so what it says above...ok I haven’t been driving my supra for a while now cause its been in my driveway in storage lol, parking there, all alone, not being drive, lol, for about 8 days now. Because I have a Grand Am and I use that so I don’t have to abuse the supra, and well its been raining for the past week to, anyways I go and start it today and warm it up for a nice drive on this fine day lol, so when I get going the clutch is fine and after 10 min, I want to drive harder on it and as I do the clutch starts to slip as I shift from 1st to 2nd and so on., I’m like wtf...its a new clutch (3 months old) and it didn’t feel like that before I parked it, my guess is that after it being sitting there for a while it got into a state of BREAKING IN AGAIN, what do u think?

That doesn't sound right (breaking in again), but I don't have any suggestions yet. You said it's been raining for the last week... anyway way some water might have gotten in? I believe that there is a breather hole for the flywheel to get some air, and it's possible water got in there. But it's an interesting problem. Here's to finding out the solution!

Cheers,

a clutch will not be harmed by water, it would burn off the first time it was slipped to go into gear.

was it a cheap clutch, like a dynacrap, cuz their crap, i burned one out in about 50,000 kms of semi spirited driving with some hard driving. if you have been trying any burnouts, drifting, many drag races, etc. then it would get worn down much faster.

i would drop the inspection cover and make sure that everything is tight before jumping to any conclusions though, the pressure plate is supposed to be tightened to 13-18 ft/lbs iirc.
