has anyone had any problem with exceedy clutches? I put one in my festiva when I put the b6e in last year and for about 6 months or so had no problem. After a while I noticed if I rolled on the throttle to pass someone on the highway there was a little slipping. It got a little worse as time went on. Since my car was using oil at a pretty fast rate I assumed that my rear seal was leaking oil onto the clutch causing it to slip. I need to point out that While I like to put the car through its paces, I am not hard on clutches. The original was still going slip free at 190,000 miles when I pulled it out with the original motor. When I swapped in the b6me last month the clutch did not have oil on it and appeared to be in new condition. Now I have the me motor in and it is slipping again. I dont even have this motor running anywhere near its potential yet and still it slips at a top gear roll on at 55 or 60 mph. It doesnt seem to slip at wot at all. I know that it is adjusted right also. Exceedy was advertised as a high performance clutch and that is why I bought it. I figured that the added power of a b6 motor might could have used it. Does anybody have any feedback on exceedy clutches or my problem? I really appreciate any advice or comments. thanks in advance: Rick

Mine had a similar problem, but with the $200 spec clutch.....I just replaced it with the suzuki swift act clutch. Yours prolly has gotten glazed, take it out sand and clean it then put it back in. If that doesn't work I have a spec I'll sell you.-Greg
