Another clutch issue
So i put a cc stage 4 clutch from inlinepro(so the stage 5) took the car home which is almost 90 miles from the shop woot for rural living lol, took the car back to town cause a friend wanted to look at the car to see exactly what we could do together and what i would have to take to a shop, car never entered v-tec from the time i got it back from the shop while in town the clutch started slipping and about 5 mins later was completly out i can be in any gear w/o the clutch peddle depressed and have it stay running. Its being towed back to the shop tom for them to rip the tranny apart to find out what the issue is.
The shop is trying to be as vague as possible with what the issue could be, but from what ive gottin from talking to people it could only be their install. Has anyone come into contact with a clutch doing this in less then 300 miles w/o it being raced on or something crazy? Like i said it never entered v-tec from the time i got it back, think the highest i saw it run upto was just under 5k, its a ap1 btw. If its not an install issue what would cause something like this?

You never felt anything funny? It sounds as if something broke. To be able to be in any gear without clutch pedal depressed = jammed slave cyl or shift fork installed wrong(?)
but if nothing felt funny, I'd bet you broke something.

ya the peddel felt fine, all gears were slipping after it was biting at all i never tried to move the car again, had the tow truck drop it off in front of the garage and pushed it in there and locked her up. so to answer your question naw its not just first.
*edit so ya you can put it into gear without pushing the clutch in

It sounds like the shift fork is eithier jammed where ti shouldnt be or theres a blockage in the clutch fluid return - which should go away if you let it sit for a while?
Try remove the slave cylinder, the thing it connects to, the shift fork - it should move around a bit. if it doesnt, its jammed somewhere it shouldnt be. take it bak to the shop!
