try to adjust the clutch pedal a little lower so that the disc sits close to the flywheel and that way you will prevent slippage of it,after that test your car in 5thgear at 2500rpm and hit WOT and when it hits full boost if your rpms jump without the car geeting moved then its your clutch

so how come aftermarket clutches need pedal adjustment?
you need to adjust the pedal a little higher so that the transmision works well!
also if you put a clutch pedal very low it can sometimes make the car roll even if not in gear please explain?

a friend of mine installed an exedy twin disc and his car would roll even when it wasnt in gear, we adjusted the clutch pedal and problem solved!
so is it the same when you have your clutch pedal higher maybe its slipping cause its sitting at rest far appart from the flywheel so please act man explain ?

thanks act man my experience well with my stock clutch is as follows:
why is it that with use my stock clutch would begin slipping and ive adjusted the pedal at a lower point and it would stop slipping this is what ive experience and its true adjusting it wont make it grab harder but it did stop slipping so whats your opinion on this? you talked about going the other direction not true!
