Clutch problem????
Just bought a 97 dodge ram 5 speed and I had to drive it 8 hours home... Truck was running great intill the clutch started slipping. so put a new clutch kit in it including flywheel and noticed the clutch we pulled out looked fine?!? So test drive the truck and it starts slipping again with Brand new clutch!!! Also replaced the slave! What's going on! Help

 

What did the flywheel look like? Did you have it surfaced? Perhaps the master cylinder isn't releasing all the pressure?


EDIT: Oops, missed the new flywheel part.

 

Make sure there isn't any air in the slave lines. Pull it back off and take the cap off of the fluid reservoir then push the plunger in a few times and see if any air comes out

 

Air in the hydraulics won't cause it to slip, it'll prevent the clutch from fully disengaging.

Did you install the clutch disk the correct way?

 

It was a brand new flywheel we installed and the flywheel that came out looked fine no scores or anything we almost reused it but we bought a new one anyway.... And yea we bought a slave with a bleeder so there is no big chance of air so I guess I'm looking at the master? But I never heard of that Makin a clutch slip?! It has no problem going in and out of gear also yes the clutch is in right

 

Hydraulics won't cause the clutch to slip,unless they are not releasing all the way. Check that, if that ain't the case, time to dive back in there, and see what's going on.

 

I'm gonna replace the master today which I don't think is the problem but at least it's gonna narrow it down.... Guess I'm the only one who's had this problem
