well problem is my clutch slips.

but it only happens after the car is running for awhile.
when i got it back from the repair shop they test ran it for 2 hrs.
by the time i got there, they asked if i wanted to test drive it around to see if it was okay.

i drove it and it felt like the clutch was completely gone. it struggled to go 30mph.


then i parked it for about 3 hrs and it was okay. it was grabbing a lot better than before.


then driving it another 30min. it started to slip again but not as bad.



i was think maybe oil could be leaking onto the clutch?

any suggestions? ideas?

drove around more today...

it seems when i drive it... its fine. but when im idling for long periods of time... it slips.

in other words... when the clutch is connected to the flywheel during normal operation it is fine.

but when in neutral and disengaged, it seems to slip from start.


EDIT:

nevermind found problem.
pressure plate went out.
