    Newb Tranny Question. Please help!

    Still new to the whole car thing. My 1990 LX clutch was replaced ~500 miles ago and anytime the car is "operating temp" it starts to slip. Dad thinks the pressure plate isn't on correctly but the dude didn't put on the new T/O bearing that came included with the kit (MS,SS,Clutch). Am I going to have to take the trans out, and re-do the clutch? Already put fresh oil in trans, adjusted clutch and have babied it.
    Again, slips at operating temp, or if I start in 2nd a few times.

    Thanks!

    The pressure place will only go on one way. there are pegs that make sure its on right. maybe it was not tightened all of the way? if your clutch works and you cant hear the throw out bearing then its fine. if you take the starter off you might be able to see the 10mm bolts that holt the pressure plate on and make sure they are tight

      Was the flywheel replaced, or at least resurfaced, when the clutch was replaced?

      If the throwout bearing wasn’t replaced, that’s bad. A new oem bearing should always be used. If that seizes, everything in the general clutch area will be toast. I learned that one the hard way!

        The symptoms match a worn clutch that's for sure. But this also could be a clutch adjustment issue. Where is the catch point for the clutch pedal?

          If the flywheel wasn’t replaced or resurfaced, I’m thinking glazed friction surfaces.

            That I'm not sure about. But it was a full kit.

              “Full kit” means nothing. What was included? Did you order it online? Link?

                    Catch point is pretty normal, grabs about midway up.

                    Was the flywheel replaced, or at least resurfaced, when the clutch was replaced? - To my knowledge it wasn't replaced/resurfaced. Clutch was replaced three months ago

                      How much did you adjust the clutch pedal? It might just be a tad too far out.

                      Or..were there any oil leaks upon the clutch replacement? Could be oil getting
                      onto the flywheel from the rear main seal leaking causing the slip.
                      Keep Pushing..

                        I wasn't the one who did it, the guy I just recently bought it from did it himself. however this is a CONSISTENT fluid showing up after driving on the trans:


                        (Ignore whatever wiring job this man did, The car cost me $400 + $16 For shift linkage )

                            I don’t think google drive images work, unfortunately.

                            If the flywheel wasn’t replaced or resurfaced, then your clutch disc is very likely ruined. Doing that will glaze the friction surfaces.

                            The transmission is closed, so there should be no fluid leaking from it. If there is, something isn’t sealed correctly. To do the clutch, the drain plug would’ve been pulled, as well as the axles. Nothing else leading to fluid should’ve been touched.

                            It sounds like the guy that did your clutch is about 12 eggs short of a dozen.

                              Okay. Thank you for your help. Bought the car for $400 and it runs and drives better now that its colder. I'm going to try and put it off for a little bit so i can get some money together. Thanks again!
