Clutch Slipping?

[jcgemt2003]

Can you beleive that my stage 3 clutch is slipping? Wow. I took it out for a drive the other day and bam......got on it in first gear and it grabbed hard as s***. As soon as I hit 4500rpms it slipped right to 7000rpms. What the hell?
We've put in the call to Spec and they want us at PG to send them a pic of the clutch so they can decide if they will warranty. They want to make sure it wasnt abused.....? Are you thinking what Im thinking?......How do you abuse a stage 3 clutch? Never the less we will keep you updated on the removal and reinstaltion of the clutch.(rei)

Ok so had the clutch removed and its freakn toast along with my flywheel. Unbelievable that this clutch could go bad after such a short time.

I want to know if its feasible to install a clutch yourself? I have very knowledgeable friends.. all of us are handy with cars and have done them many many times on the K20s.

My stock clutch is about to go. It slipped ONCE about 4-5 months ago at the track.. almost again today.

Sorry to hear they should cover under warranty! Stage 3 should hold up fine.

The warranty is 120days and it started slipping well within that time. It wasnt installed until the first of november.
