Clutch slipping?
 
Replaced tranny and LSD fluid last week. Yesterday car exhibited symptoms of a slipping clutch. Mainly noticeable on the freeway, when I lift off the throttle while in gear then press on the throttle again the RPMs go up like I'm engaging the clutch then they drop back down and I start to speed up.

Is this just coincidence that it is happening a week after I changed the fluids? Or could over filling or under filling the tranny or LSD cause this?

Thanks for any insight

Also what tools are required for a clutch and flywheel replacement? I know that a pilot bearing puller is required, will this one work?

Is there an installation tool for the pilot bearing or can I just tap it in with a socket? Any special tools required for the release bearing? What about pulling the flywheel itself off? I just want to have everything I need before I do this. Don't want to have to get more tools half way through a job.

Thanks

No, that bearing puller will not work. You will need 10, 12, 13, 14 ,21mm sockets, ( buy a 1/2" drive socket set ) 54mm socket for the flywheel.You will need 12 and 14mm wrenches .Yes you will need a tool to install the pilot bearing.
