bad clutch?
 

I think my clutch has been slipping a little bit lately. It feels like I have to let the clutch out further than usual in order for it to engage. Also, during normal driving, sometimes it feels like the clutch "skips." Like it engages, backs off for a split second, then engages fully again. My friend who used to own a 5.0 just said I needed to lift up on my clutch push it to the floor a couple times and it will fix my problem, only my clutch won't pull up. Do I need a new clutch?

pulling up on the clutch peddle adjusts the quadrant
if you get your head down there you can see what it is doing. This helps with how far you have to press the peddle before the clutch disengages.

Here's an idea, do a brake stand and if the clutch smokes before the tires then it is not holding:D
(I'm just joking, I wouldn't do that)

I'm interested in hearing response on this issue as well.

I have a pretty new Centerforce Dual friction clutch in my '84 Mustang that is now slipping under power, particularly in 2nd and 3rd gear.

did you guys break in the clutches?

I did, but, at the minimum (500 miles)

hmmm.. i dont see why it should be slipping did you get any oil or anything on the clutch or flywheel durring the install?

Not that I know of, I had it done by a good local firm. It doesn't seem to have started until recently. I've had maybe fifty passes on the clutch and it probably only started becoming a problem in the last ten passes.

Venum,

It may be possible that you have a transmission input shaft leak. It's a long shot, but given the inconsistancy of your problem things are sort of pointing to contamination. However, the thing that makes it such a long shot is that the gearbox fluid would actually have to travel down the input splines to enter your clutch assembly.

But, to make a long story short and offer up some advice, I would say if you have an extremely high pedal that won't adjust out, and poor engagement, it is time for a clutch.
