hey lads im after some help

i own a vp manual, one the week end i had to change the clutch on my vp because it was slipping, i had a spare clutch at home so i put that in it apeared to look really good had plenty of meat on it, but the clutch is still slipping

i also changed the pressure plate and thrust bearing, the pressure plate had a bit of rust on it?

and the fly wheel was also abit greasy

why do u think it is still slipping?

thanks sam

Did you clean the grease off flywheel? I suppose depends if it's glazed badly it will require machining.

[vpmanua]

The flywheel got machined an hour before i put it in and im not sure they would of been a fair bit of grease on it. Any reccomendations of wher to go to get it looked at in melb

[vpmanua]

N no i forgot to clean the flywheel

[jujibelly]

Yeah that explain the slipping, lesson learnt hey. Take the car for a good thrash, slip the clutch(Give it a hard time, ie hard 2nd gear starts) this should remove the grease but beware that if you thrash it too much you will glaze the flywheel, it's a nice easy way to fix but risky otherwise you could take it to any mechanic and they will remove, clean but leave you with a hole in the pocket.

Is it fixed?
