i had a similar situation on my 1JZ. make sure your pedal isn't putting any preload on the master cylinder. that was my problem. check that and drive it nice for at least a hundred miles and it shouldn't slip any longer.

i also don't understand this...... when my car is cold the clutch won't slip at all but as soon as my car gets to OT it starts slipping and if im beating on the car and it gets a little past OT it slips like a brand new hard wood floor w/ fresh socks on.

Your clutch is not broken in, or wasn't properly broken in. And you mat have some pre-load like the above post says. Search clutch pedal adjustment DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE.

Roy: check to see if the electrical boxes are keeping your pedal from traveling all the way up. My car did the exact same thing. I want to say the door control box was the one giving me problems, but not sure. It was onemof them

Could be like mine ...clutch mastercylinder and pedal aren't space far enough from each other ...kinda partially disengaged the whole time. There gotta be a inch of free pedal before depressing the clutch.

ChriSOL----starting shit here is like pissing into an ocean of piss. we live in it 24/7 and one more guy filling up the pool isn't going to matter much.
