Clutch slipping....flywheels fault?

[Zach]

Near new 6puk clutch is shuddering and slipping sometimes, Could this be the flywheels fault? I dont know the condition of the flywheel or even if its a stock fly or not but I dont know why else this 6puk would slip when the car does not make nearly enough power to slip a new 6puk. any ideas?

Was the flywheel machined when the new clutch went in?

if you try to drive a puk in the same way u drive a organic clutch you will wear it out in a very short time

[Zach]

so puk clutch is more suited to "dumping"?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

A "puk" clutch is designed for track usage, dumping and slamming gears. Very "all or nothing" or light switch operation. Its either on or off.

Not so good for traffic

I had a 5 puk brass button and never had an issue with many dumps and many daily drives. Definitely a light switch but no other drama wouldnt slip driving it normally.

yea its a pretty ruthless clutch. When approaching red lights or stop signs anything where there's another car in front of me I have to stop a good 1 & half car lengths behind them so I can take off without slamming into the back of them lol, I'll take the car to a specialist and get them to have a drive I'm fairly certain its clutch slip though I'm thinking it was not installed proper perhaps not aligned right.

there is no such thing as " not aligned right "

"The cause of these problems could be a number of different things. Oil leakage or contamination, defective cables, warped flywheels, worn bearings, misalignment and a cracked clutch pressure plate could cause the clutch problem in several different areas"
