    new clutches will slip until they get broken in, try not to beat on it, drive it like a grandma for the first 500 miles so you dont put heat spots on the flywheel and ruin the clutch/pressure plate

      alright thanks will do. Was getting worried because when I floored it the engines Rpms would climb up and when I would ease off the gas the clutch would grip again but it didn't slip to bad it slipped a tad bit not to extreme.

        Well was taking it easy and the car started making a funny noise and I think the throw out bearing is gone. Every time I press on the clutch pedal you can hear a noise goes away when I release the pedal the noise goes away so I think the slave cylinder is gone

          did you replace the slave cylinder?

          what kind of noise is it/how loud is it?

          is it possible you can take a video?

          when my TO bearing went out i only heard noises while i was starting to let the clutch out and the car started moving, and when i was coasting and pressed the clutch in, it was silent during idle

            Didn't replace the slave cylinder just replaced the bearing. Sounds like chattering noise it only makes noise when I press on the clutch pedal not when I'm not pressing on the clutch.

              is it loud at all, or barely noticeable?

              my car has made a slight noise with the clutch pressed down with all three slave/to bearings i have used (including stock)

                  So I took off the transmission and I'm not even sure if the clutch is good I forgot to mention that the pressure plate and clutch disc where left out in the elements for about a month I think I'm just going to replace the whole set.
