DISC GOLF KIT
New Clutch – Still Slips!?
Hi,
I’ve replaced my Mk1 Golf Gti clutch with new QH kit (Disc and plate) but it still slips!
- No oil leaking from flywheel oil seal or gearbox
- Adjusting cable makes zero difference – bite point changes but still slipping
Started in higher gears as normal, now slips in 2nd once warmed up a bit. Changing clutch made no difference 
I suspect either the flywheel has been skimmed too many times or release pin isn’t releasing. ‘Box whines a bit and snicks into 2nd gear so maybe other internal probs make it not release properly.
Any ideas appreciated – I should know this and will be better educated when I work it out!
Thanks 
They spray the pressure plates with silicone spray so they don’t get surface rust. If you didn’t clean it with BraKleen it will slip.
If the disk isn’t glazed too bad, you can pull the transaxle, disassemble the clutch and spray the pressure plate and flywheel with BraKleen. Wipe the surfaces once with a CLEAN lintless rag and then spray them again with BraKleen.
Then rough up the friction disk surfaces with some sandpaper. (100-150 grit.)
Look at the pressure plate surface and make sure there aren’t any blue “heat checks” on it. If there are, it should be replaced. If the flywheel has heat checks it should be resurfaced.
After a clutch starts to slip. it’s best to replace the friction disk because if you just rough it up with sandpaper there’s a chance that it could chatter. but if you’re tight on cash, since it’s a new friction disk it would be worth trying to de-glaze it with sandpaper.. When you re-assemble the clutch, keep your fingers off all the friction surfaces. Only handle the disk from the edges and keep your fingers off the pressure plate and flywheel surfaces… I know it sounds rediculous, but the oil from your fingers can actually cause a clutch to chatter.
Take a close look at the transmission shaft splines. Before bolting the pressure plate to the flywheel put the friction disk on the transmission splines and make sure it slides freely back and forth. Put a VERY LIGHT (invisible) coating of grease on the splines, clutch release rod, and on the inside of the pilot bushing/bearing.
After you replace the clutch, there should be some free-play in the pedal. If it engages close to the top, you have a linkage (cable) adjustment problem, or a geometry problem.
If it slips in high gear, stop driving the vehicle immediately or you will risk heating the pressure plate and flywheel.
(FYI – Most machine shops won’t turn a flywheel if it’s out of spec.)
Good luck!
