Clutch

Hey my friend has a 240sx, and he recently replaced the clutch. He went past the break in point, and now we started beating on it and it starts slipping when you really step on it.

My question would adjusting the clutch pedal, and bleeding the system would help?

break-in period is 500 miles right? yeah...maybe he should go easy on it for another 500 and see what happens...might change!

if he already went wild on it, and it is slipping, it wasn't broken in properly. what type of clutch is it?

Well he drove it slow for about 500 miles, and the clutch is ACT stage 1 so it's an OEM replacment.
