A auto clutch actually has two clutches. It has the centrifical clutch and the standard clutch discs. I am guessing you changed the clutch discs. The centrifical clutch is what actually starts the trike in motion. When the engine speeds up the centrifical starts spinning faster and comes out and grabs. And starts spinning the tranny over. Thats were the other clutch discs come in to play. Once they get the power from the centrifical then they start turning and down the road you go. So i would guess if you allready replaced the clutch discs then it is the centrifical that needs to be replaced. It is a one piece deal made up of three different shoes that opens outward and grabs the hub and starts spinning. You can get a new centrifical clutch set from dennis kirk.com for around $50.00 and it comes with all three shoes.

If it was the centrifical clutch that you replaced and it still slips. then it is the clutch discs itself that need to be replaced. And you can get a new set of clutch discs from dennis kirk.com for around $10.00.
