I put a  Farrari  slave cylinder in my  1972  Pantera.  The car drives Normally,  But when I step on it, the clutch  Slips.   Been doing that all summer.  Now,  When I put it in  Any Gear,  It wont  engage at all.  I dont see the  clutch turning, Just the Preassure plate.   P.S.   The  Nut on the  Slave  cylinder, does nothing, no matter where I put it.  It bottoms out against the cylinder..  is the rod on the cylinder too  short?.  Allowing the Clutch  just to touch the flywheel  enouygh to drive it.  But, not enough under power?  Wrong slave cylinder??.   HELP.  God Bless.  Lou.

Why didn’t you just install a Pantera slave cylinder? It sounds like you have more than one problem. Not going into gear usually means you aren’t getting enough clutch release. That will destroy your synchros in no time! This could be caused by the slave being incorrect or air in the lines. The clutch slipping under power would usually mean a worn clutch but since the slave was just replaced, it could be the slave isn’t retracting properly and your clutch is always partially disengaged. The first thing I’d do is throw away the Ferrari slave and get a real Pantera slave from a vendor. Have someone qualified install and adjust it. Don’t drive the car until the issues are resolved or you could be facing a $$$$ ZF repair bill.
