I would translate that to the installed height of the clutch was higher than stock so the Centric Slave Cylinder (hydraulic release bearing) was applying pressure to the clutch spring although the clutch pedal was release and in turn reducing the clamping pressure on the clutch allowing for slippage.

I would agree with this. 

If the crush depth (distance from top of Concentric Slave Cylinder to clutch diaphragm) is too small, the CSC could drag/push on the diaphragm (when clutch pedal is released) which would be pulling the clutch discs and pressure plates marginally off the flywheel which would reduce the clamping force of the clutch assembly and could easily cause clutch slip, especially during high torque loads.

Thanks ralph & k31th, makes sense to me

 

Matty the clutch was slightly slipping with my old tune (357rwkw) @ WOT in 3rd gear, 4th gear it was really struggling, forget about 5th obviously

 

Disappointing that it probably could've performed a lot better, paid around the $3k mark installed back in early 2011

At the time I got it, tune had ~310rwkw and it held that not too bad from memory

 

So it could be set up to work ok then? Cue gumtree ad "Excellent condition twin plate clutch to suit FG turbo $2950neg" lol  :eyebrows:

 

EDIT btw the clutch was supplied and installed by Tunehouse, bit of a surprise to me as I know they are/were exxy, thought their rep for quality work was ok?

So unfortunately I've decided to sell the manual gearbox, I've made most of it back already but if anyone wants a tr6060 let me know

This thread may also close in 9 months time

We will see how we go :)
