Its not slipping, its grabbing..which is a good thing. The clutch disc material is probably fully seating and breaking in. Take some time to adjust to it..and enjoy.

Default clutch problems

I notice that you have installed DC headers. I would recomend that you change your clutch fluid to a High Temp brake fluid. I had problems with my clutch after I install Crawford Headers. Because of the excess heat from the headers I was bioling my fluid. I change to Super Blue brake fluid and insulated the line from the clutch master cylinder and my problems cleared up.

Maybe it's time for an ATS Triple Disk carbon-carbon clutch. I think they are only $4000.00?

Appreciate the suggestion. I will monitor the temp a little closely to see if it overheats..Thanks
