When ever I have changed a clutch in a vehicle, the vehicle has always felt slower after the swap? I have personally changed the clutches on four of my own motorcycles before and noticed this. Also, I had the clutch changed on a 97 or 98 Cobra that I owned (for ten days), and also noticed that the car was slower after the clutch change. I think the effect is only temporary though. Has anyone else noticed this?

.....are you doing it correctly?

just wait for the clutch disk to seat itself against the flywheel

your supposed to break it in before you get on it you could possibly be slipping it a little if you get on it before it gets seated(broke in).

i never notice it. i change it and test drive to make sure its good then take it out on the highway and do some highspeed gear changes. and slip it from a stop a few times to wear it in.

Definitely. Well, I noticed it not just when thrashing the vehicles--even when just driving them normally after a swap. There was never any slipping when I noticed this though. My car is in the shop as we speak, getting the clutch replaced. I'm just anticipating that it will feel slower when I get it back. By the way, thanks for the quick replies.
