So here's the deal:
- built 2.7 with Webers. All the tricks possible on this motor - rebuilt trans - new flywheel (not resurfaced!) - new 914 clutch - New TOB - new clutch cable Cable is adjusted so that engagement point is as close to the floor as possible. When I go above 4000 RPM, I get some serious clutch slip. So bad I can't really climb higher, although the car has a 7K limit. I'm thinking the stock 914 clutch can't hold it, even though it is a brand new clutch. Any ideas here? I do not believe it is making enough power to overwhelm the stock clutch, unless the stock clutch is super weak. |

It's also obvious by moving the clutch fork at the tranny. You should be able to move it back and forth a bit, before it makes the throw out bearing engage the pressure plate. If there is no free play, it could exhibit the symptom you are running into. Like I said I ran the same configuration from 1986 to 1999 and never changed the clutch out. This includes multiple double dates with 4 people in the car going up and down mountain roads including hwy 17 and hwy 9 as well as hills in San Francisco. Never had a problem of slippage. At 1999 I upgraded the motor to a 3.2.
