Hello,
Here's the deal: I bought a used '94 Explorer 2wd, and the clutch was slipping. I replaced the clutch, and had the flywheel machined (no oil on the fw), put everything back together and the clutch still slips. Tried bleeding (I know that this usually solves release problems, but figured I'd try it) and the master cylinder and slave cylinder both went bad almost simultaneously.
Pulled the trans again, new master cyl, new slave cyl, exchanged clutch set, bled system. Clutch still slips. (not quite as bad, though)
The clutch is Perfection Zoom PN MU116-1A. I called Perfection tech support, and the only suggestion they could give me is that the flywheel may have been machined too far and cause the pressure plate to be mounted too far forward, which might cause the slave cylinder to over-extend and not fully release the clutch...I'm not sure if I buy it...they want me to take the whole thing apart and call them while I'm looking at the flywheel.
Personally, I think that the clutch assembly is poorly made, and that I should buy and LUK from dialaclutch.com, and return the one I have under warranty. Any other suggestions? Which way should I go?
Thanks,
Greg
