vp v8 clutch issue

[VNSS90]

hey all just put a xtreme heavy duty clutch in my vp 5ltr it works fine just driving around normmaly but when i try n snap 3rd gear the the clutch sticks and the car revs 4 atleats a second then engages any one know what it could be?

What do you mean by sticks? If it sticks it shouldnt slip but what your saying sounds like its slipping. Is snap gears changing gears fast?

yea mate bring it right onto the limiter change to 3rd let the clutch out in 3rd and it revs like its in netural then bangs into 3rd gear

lol i think ur right mate wont even crank ova now got dash lights but no cranking lol

Granted you shouldnt be doing this all the time it still shouldnt be slipping with a brand new clutch.

I remember a method for testing the clucth, somthing about 4th gear, slowly let it out while stoped and if it dosent stall its ####ed! But I cant remember completly. Other then that the pressureplate might not be putting out enough clamping force to hold the clutch down.

This is a stock V8 right?

With the cranking, wiggle you battery terminals. Always works for me
