Re: New clutch slipping after install

I drove it probably about 3 blocks and it drove nice. I was afraid to drive it any further because of how bad the noise was. What I was thinking was slip/engaging in neutral was probably just that metal rubbing on the flywheel causing the car to eventually wind down and stall out. I took a video of ...
