Hey guys well my car is really starting to piss me off. Anyways long story shot I replaced my clutch when I rebuilt my engine. However we got a lot of oil on it and the disc started slipping. The clutch is a Zoom HP-70043. Its a stage 2 I'm guessing. Anyways I was able to get a new disc from them. So everything was working fine before I removed the old disc except for the slipping. So after I swapped the disc out it would not go into gear when it was running. However it would go into gears when the car was off. So we decided to replace the slave and master cylinder since my slave started leaking some. Got the new gm unit that was pre-bled. So this weekend we pulled it out and made sure everything was right. When the pressure plate came off the disc was attached to it. The pressure plate had a rust mark on that looked like it my disc. Anyways we cleaned everything again and made sure the input shaft has greese on it. Put everything back together and same problem. We started in gear and it was trying to move on its own with the clutch depressed. We tried bleeding the system but no luck. Anybody got any ideas before I pull this transmission for the 6th time.

Have you looked at the slave when someone press' in the clutch to make sure its moving?

Yeah its moving. You can also hear the fork moving pulling the pressure plate back.

Did you by chance put the disc in backwards.

Nope. It can only go one way. You can not get the bolts in if the disc is backwards.

I won't say impossible. I've seen somebody do it. Can't say it was the smartest bunch working on it.

Well I know that the disc is the right way. Any other ideas?
