Default Clutch

OK. 1999 w/91,000 miles on it. I changed the oil last week and may have slightly overfilled, but don't think so. Dove it last Friday and Satuday with no problems. Got in today and clutch is slipping like crazy.
Do/can they go this fast? I thought it would be more gradual, but it slips at any speed in any gear. Any chance I got oil on the flywheel or something?

From others posts, I have heard it is that quick..... Good to completely shot in a matter of hours

Will you swap it yourself?

No. I'll take it to my indy. I'm an shade tree mechanic and this might be beyond me. My window regulators and spark plugs were tough enough.

Definitely happens very quickly, I can tell you from experience.

+1. Pretty surprising, actually! Good one day, slipping the next. Wonder why they do not have a sensor on the clutch surface like they do for brake pads . . .

I would think there is oil on the clutch disc material from a RMS leak or something. I can't see how the clutch disc goes from no slip to severe slipping assuming you are not abusing the clutch.

Take some pics, for us curious folks.
