Ok I've got a 97 s14 that in recently did a 5 speed swap on...also changed the motor with it but in dunno if that matters. Anyways parts wise I used some new and some used parts
New: pilot bearing, throwout bearing, clutch and pressure plate, tranny mount, driveshaft
Used: flyewheel, clutch master, hardline, softline, slave, tranny, backing plate, pedal

Anyways my problem is freaking wierd. First of all when I'm driving my car kinda whines like it has a supercharger. Also (and this is the part that aggravates the shit out of me) when it is hot outside or I've been driving for a while the clutch starts to slip really bad..like I can rev to 6k n I'm still sluggish but I don't because yea Im afraid it's gonna glaze it er sumn. Anyways the wierd part also is how the hotter outside it is the worse the slipping is. So at nite I usually almost don't notice it at all.
So I figure I'm gonna have to pull it apart Neways but I would really like some advice since I just purchased the clutch bout 500 or so miles ago and I want this fixed for sure wen it's back together..thanx in advance guys hope u have some good ideas

Try bypassing the damper box or whatever its called? The box that removes the clutch chatter located on the passenger side of the car? Mine did that slipping shit and did that and no problems till this day. As far as the whining of the tranny. Mine and my buddies all do that. Don't worry and if someone bitches out it tell em you got custom straight cut gears...lol

I see..thanks for replying
I can live with the supercharger thing it is kinda cool lol I just thought it mite have sumthing to do with my problem. As for the other piece I actually already deleted it when I did the swap since it was going onto an s14 and it originally was an s13 hardline and softline
