how many k's after did it start slipping ?
did you drive EASY for the first 500-1000ks ?
(IE properly bed the clutch in)
did you MACHINE the flywheel surface ?

i did not put it in the dude did b4 i brought it sooo i dunno aye the weird thing is that it goes away after i drive it it only starts again when i dont drive it 4 a week or so

no,would just give a soft/no pedal

hmmm,since you say it only does it after its sat for a while i would think it could have something to do with a leaking engine rear main seal,leaking oil onto the clutch material and causing slip....usually if you get oil on the clutch though it contaminates the lining and doesn't really go away

like was said above,a warn flywheel can cause problems if they didnt machine it when installing clutch...and ofcourse improper installation of the clutch could cause problems too

its weird how you say it goes away,normally a slipping clutch will worsen as it is driven more and the clutch gets heat in it (excessive heat from slippage)
