Clutch slips randomly

[jinesz32]

Okay, so randomly my clutch decides to slip on its own and doesn't go away, so i end up just driving it home, leaving it there, go swimming, then i get back in the car and drive it to a friends house and it works fine. i dont know what the heck is going on with it.

i think its the fork, when it does slip, the clutch feels hecka weird as well, as if it gets stuck.

any inputs?

let me know thanks.

i appreciate any help given :)

Sometimes when the clutch is not working properly, the disc will slip a little bit and generate heat. After some driving, the disc will get overheated and will slip more.

I suggest doing an eyeball check of the entire clutch system: pedal assembly, master, slave, all connections and lines, fork, etc.

If nothing else, try bleeding the clutch and adjusting the clutch pedal all the way out to allow full clutch engagement. Search my threads for details. Get rid of the clutch damper if you haven't done so already.

See if the master cylinder rod is adjusted too far in, which doesn't allow the piston to fully retract = disc slipping a little = heat.

I recommend removing the clutch pedal stopper bolt and back the master cylinder rod as far out as it will go. Then try bleeding the line and slave.

If that still doesn't fix it then you have more serious problems.

i think it starts slipping after it gets hot, seems like it, im not really sure, but it does it randomly. sometimes when i drive it hard nothing happens, sometimes it slips. does it at random.

thanks for the input, ill put them to good use.

when was the last time the clutch was replaced?
if so what clutch was installed?
If not, its probably time for a new clutch.


Or the Rear main crank seal?
Oil could be leaking on the clutch, although i havent seen it happen yet but it is possible.

has alot of meat on it, less than 5,000 miles on it.

master stage clutch stage 2.

- no drifting, lauched it only a couple times. hardly clutch kicked it.

make sure that you clutch cylinder isnt broken, inspect it thoroughly for loose parts etc, something could be slipping in and out of place a little bit causing unpredictable problems.
