my clutch etc. was all in great condition, I cleaned all of the parts with brakleen before installing, and everything seemed to go as planned.
However when I put the car in gear, even the smallest amount of load will make the clutch slip. (Unless it's the diff complaining)
I'm using the gearbox from a gen 5 NA SW20, and a cusco flywheel/clutch designed for the 3sgte.
I bought a new release bearing from Toyota, however I can't remember if I specified a release bearing for an NA or turbo.
What I'm thinking, is that my release bearing is too tall, and so it's depressing the clutch slightly. Enough to make it slip, and squeal horribly.
Since it's a 3 puck clutch, I would imagine that it really needs a high clamping pressure to work properly.
So what I'm wanting to know, is there a difference between NA and turbo release bearings?
My only other thoughts are that either the diff in the gearbox is blown (As it does this in every gear) or, my clutch is buggered. (Which I doubt is the case, everything seemed fine, and clean/in good condition)
I suppose that when I drop the motor out again (*sigh*) I can measure the distance of the face of the release bearing to the face of the bell housing, and the distance of the clutch forks/cover plate from the engine block, and see if there's a discrepancy.
Any help appreciated.
