Been having some trans problems. Alright here it goes, whenever you have the car running in idle more 10 minutes you drive again and at full throttle the rpms raise but the car takes of sluggish like the clutch is slipping. The parts that have already been replaced are the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, and clutch with an Exedy kit, lastly it does have an aluminum driveshaft. What are the possible reasons for the cause of this?:confused:

Breaking it in correctly(the clutch)?

first thing i'd check is the clutch pedal adjustment. the clutch pedal may be adjusted to far in relation to the master cylinder, as in the rod that comes out of the master cylinder and connects to the pedal may be too taught. try threading it into the pedal a little bit to give it a little more play before dissengaging the clutch. try that first.

if that didn't help, next thing i'd check is that i can push in the slave cylinder by hand a little bit. if you can't squeeze in the slave cylinder a little bit there may be a restriction. if that's the case you could undo the rubber hose off the slave cylinder and try to flush the restriction out. once you connect everything back up if it still has the issue, it could just be a defective master cylinder. exedy clutchs are pretty decent...i'd condemn the master cylinder before that particular clutch...
gl with it,

The clutch has had the proper break in period. Z U L8R, I will try that and see if that fixes the issue. The car is 92 hatch,but the motor is out of a 96 coupe.

definitely the pedal rod adjustment... unless of course the master cylinder is weak... z u l8r is right.
