I am having trouble with my Cartek clutch, its the new version and has been fine for about 300 miles, but now something is funny, when I go all out to redline and speedshift, it seems that its not gripping right away(especially at high speeds) and you can actually feel it slipping as it kind of bogs the car down, this is happening mostly on my 2nd to 3rd shift, and a little bit on my 3-4, sometimes on my 1-2nd it feels like it grabs so hard after spinning the tires that it totally bogs the car down for a second, what confuses me is that even though the pedal gets mushy it does grab sometimes without any problem. It is totally fine under normal driving conditions but when I get on it not only does it feel like it is slipping, but the clutch pedal all of a sudden gets mushy, and is slow to come back up. It scared the hell out of me the other day as I made a WOT pass something under the car was making a loud humming noise, and I could hear something in the linkage chattering(like something was loose), when I stopped and put it back in first gear it had a loud chatter it sounded like broken syncros(as I know that sound all to well) but went away in about ten seconds, I did notice that it is grabbing very high also, and I am smelling something when I get on it, I finally get my car tuned in perfectly(its running like a beast!) and now this, The clutch is a Cartek(new version) has about 300 miles on it, I also have the Modified master instead of the adjustable( I was told this would be fine) I am very confused because today it worked fine, but I could still smell something burning. Please tell me I dont need another clutch after only 300 miles, I do have tons of mods, but dont even have the nos on yet, I am freaking because I cannot afford another clutch, I am flat broke after doing all these mods. Please help me with your opinions
Re: Please help! problem with aftermarket clutch (dave zehak)
Where do you have the engagement point set with the adjustable master? When you let the clutch out does it catch close to the floor or near the top of the pedal....if it's too close to the top of the pedal it will slip as the clutch will not be 100% engaged.

I dont have the adjustable, Cartek modified my stock one they said it would be fine , do they modify it to be adjustable?, it does catch close to the top, so I think you answered my question, I'm gonna take it in wed.
