Clutch Slipping...I think?

[Kaos]

Alright I've got a 92 240 SE 5spd. When I go to shift it doesn't fully release clutch. I can accelerate but only at about 1/4 throttle or the RPM's just go straight up (making it very annoying to go up hills. Immediatly I would think I need a new clutch but the only thing about it is I don't smell the clutch burning up or anything. Anything else it could be? Oh and I just replace the slave and master cylinders. Any help is appreciated.

Sounds to me like the clutch totally slips off. (or else you'd feel it or smell it rubbing) I take it when you let your throttle pressure down it catches again?

Either your clutch is worn and slipping or the tube the throwout bearing rides on is broken. Ask how I know:)

ya. At about 3000 RPMs or so is when in starts to slip off. The only reason I don't think the clutch is worn is because the other day it felt strong as a OEM clutch can be. Also when it is cold it works fine. It is just once the car and clutch warm up is when it starts to slip. That is the only thing that confuses me. So if the tube the throwout bearing rides on is broken does that consisit of me getting a new clutch kit or just a new throwout bearing?

PS I am also gonna check to make sure the car store gave me the right slave cylinder.

It's listed as the transmission front cover. Also if the piece the T/O is pressed on has rounded where the fork attaches, the T/O assemble can rotate and make the clutch slip. Basically it sounds like you need to pull the transmission and take a look.
