Before the winter i noticed my car would slip when under bigger load and when cold but when it would worn up really good it would not do it that easy. So i thought it was maybe my diff, so i had another VLSD so i swapped that in and i took it around the block, then it haled a**. So i parked the car in the garage and stared to work on it.
Took the engine out did the body work and now I just swapped back my sr after changing oil pump and painting the bay, and i noticed when i floor it in 1st it goes like it should but then when i change it in to 2nd and all other gears i just need to press the gas a bit more and it seams to be slipping like it did before i changed the diffs.
I tried adjusting the pedal and it does move the position of where the clutch catches but it still does the same thing.
I got a new slave from AZ back before any of this started happening.I don't know what to be thinking of any more. I got a s15 Sr 5MT and a stage 2 exedy clutch. The clutch i bought brand new about 3 1/2 years ago and about 15K miles are on it, when i put it in now it still looked fairly new...

This seems like one of those problems where somebody needs to actually drive the car to "Feel" what the problem is.

Newer diff, decent clutch, new slave, and correctly adjusted pedal should really have everything working right, I would lean toward the pedal/master this time, just because I've had a nightmare with my clutch system. I got a new master cylinder and it made everything alot better.
