ok, bit of a nub question, when you talk about the rear main seal, you are referring to the rear main crankshaft seal yes??
why would changing the sump affect that seal? i didnt think you could just accidentally knock it around or out of place?
also, isnt the bottom of the rear main seal a little higher than the sump/block join? what im trying to say is, i would have assumed the rear main seal wouldnt really get THAT much oil on it in the first place for it to become a problem where a leaky seal lets a significant amount of oil onto the flywhee/clutch assembly...

Yea thats right, crankshaft oil seal. He said it was previously leaking. Not sure if it was replaced properly or not.
I think the seal is like metal ring covered in rubber, the ring might've bend during installation when it was replaced. They might've tapped the seal on one side at a time using hammer. In the manual it uses a driver that spans across the diameter of oil seal.
Oil leak from the pan can still go to flywheel if there is no flywheel cover when driving. wind blows.
my car leaks oil
::might even be transmission oil leaking for all we know. Can't see shit over the net lolol.

Ok, so after talking to my friend (previous owner) he says it is impossible the Clutch is worn. He barely put 5000kms on it in the 2years of installing it. I have since put 2000kms on it in 4weeks lol! Anyway, he told me to read the instructions on how to use the clutch.. And behold, he wasn't kidding!
As for the rear main seal, I think i'll just leave it until it is leaking bad..
See pic below for instructions and reasons why slippage occurs. Lol
Time to go out and apply these instructions ! Hope it works ! Turns out carbon clutches are not like your average metallic clutch !

yehh.. i still find it difficult to understand how the oil can seep through from the rear main seal, through the flywheel. over to the clutch side.. even if it was "momentum/intertia", the oil would just fly off to the side of the gearbox housing
in regards to the clutch, maybe because no one uses carbon clutches.. LOL

As the info suggests, carbon products be they clutches, brakes etc do not work well at low temps and actually enjoy being given a hard time, its what they are made to do.
My ATS unit is very similar and driving like miss daisy just doesnt get it hot enough so give it a hard time first thing ( but after warming the engine up ) and you'll find it much more usable without the slip.
I love mine, 170 odd kw and a single plate, never gives any grief or slip, and when it came off after a few months, still looked like new and didnt measure much different.
