Default Is my clutch slipping?

I recently had a Spec Stage 1 Clutch installed in my car. When I got the car back the car was chattering a lot and the clutch would slip often and still slips when starting on steep hills.

Now, when I'm just cruising at like 1000-1500 RPM's in say 5th or 6th gear, and I floor it in that gear it revs up to about 2300, then comes back down to 1500 or 1700 then goes back up like normal.

This seems like the clutch is slipping, but it is fine when I really get on it...

What is ahppening?

I have a spec 3 and recently destroyed the disc. I put a Centerforce disk in it and I get the same problem. I am going with the Ram VDS setup next. I hate slip more than anything.

Yeah I think that it sucks personally. I hate it soooooo much!

I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but I'm having a similar problem and I was searching for a thread to post on. I have the same thing happening. If I'm at a low RPM in 4th or 5th and floor it the RPMs get up there and than drop a little. And this morning I was in 4th at about 40 and put it in second and got on it and the RPMs seemed to kind of bog slightly. Does this mean that my clutch is slipping? If not than what is it and what do I need to replace it? Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like slip to me!! I had my Spec 3 wear out after a year and I refered to my car being the only Z06 with a 7000 stall!
