 Slipping Clutch...



I seem to be dealing with a slipping clutch at such an early age. Its never a problem starting. Didnt have any trouble when I was doing the 8th mile runs at homecoming, but I am definitely having slipping issues lately.

Its only when I am shifting at red line in 3rd gear or higher. I dont konw what it is, but it just doesnt seem to be catching, and I am not sure why. If I stay on it full throttle, it just wont catch at all, if I let up it usually drops a 1000 rpm and then catches.

So, I guess its a new clutch for me...

Any ideas on what might be a better option than stock?

I am talking about the S54 motor here. And I only have slipping at very high rates of speed and engine RPM.

How many miles do you have on the clutch? Before I took out the CDV, I experienced what felt like clutch slippage at times, but now the clutch works fine. ( My clutch has approx. 33k miles of usage )
