Clutch Slipping (New Clutch)

[top_driver]

i bought a new clutch that cost me nearly 600 excluding labour (i should have done myself) from the start it was sort of noisy i did the run in period, 500 miles. and more so not hard driving. but what i find quit puzzling is that if any power is put into it, it slips like a clutch that is old an worn (replace kind of worn), this is a stage three clutch. is there an easy solution, was the clutch put in wrong, any ideas?

[Toureman]

Either the wrong clutch or the wrong installment.

Stick some no nails on it.

hahaha, could try that, lol. thats the thing, it is the correct clutch so i would have to assume it was installed badly, i was hoping something bit easier, how can a clutch be installed badly, like in what way

[top_driver]

ok, i msorry if the information isn't as good as desired, taking off there is a heavy rumble unless gas ped firmly pressed, a rough noise at idle from clutch housing, a loose spinning noise disengaging and noise rumble when engaging next gear.slipping when any power put through bmw e46 2.5 litre

[top_driver]

what is the gearbox main bearing, and is that costly, just incase it is that

[top_driver]

and what is the symptoms of that

[top_driver]

that would be unusual for the release bearing to go so fast, as it is new with the clutch

I would have thought by changing the Clutch Top, that whoever done the job should have replaced the Clutch / Thrust Bearing / Pressure Plate! ( was the fork checked? thee may be a chance that there is oil / grease on the clutch plate. You still have the E46 I take it?

[tonyav]

Have you missed him TWR lol.

[chas2008]

some E36s have dual mass flywheels, a failure of this can be noisy and feels like the clutch slipping, but only for a brief moment.

[TWR]

It was a matter of time Tony lol, how are you? still cold down there? It's the same this area.

[TWR]

Have you followed the Bedroom Tax? what about that Pratt in the Mirror this morning I.D.Smith! he recons people can live on £7.50 a day,

[tonyav]

Yep TWR, bloody freezing.

[tonyav]

IDS is a bone head imo.

[TWR]

Don't forget Tony, we are all in it together, lol Speak later before I get called for talking about other matters on here.
